The Horse Hat Blues
(Verse 1)
Woke up this mornin', feeling down and blue
Couldn't find my Stetson, didn't know what to do
Searched the house high and low, 'til my patience wore thin
Then I saw it hangin', on the hat rack again
(Chorus)
It was my horse hat, the one with the mane
Grinnin' at me stupid, like it was بخشی از من (ba'hshi az man) - a part of me
A symbol of cowboys, of freedom and pride
But today it just reminded me, of nothin' to ride
(Verse 2)
Used to have a mustang, fastest in the land
But he shuffled off this mortal coil, at the vet's command
Now I'm stuck in this city, with nothin' to do
But wear my horse hat, and sing the blues
(Chorus)
It's my horse hat, the one with the mane
Grinnin' at me stupid, like it was بخشی از من (ba'hshi az man) - a part of me
A symbol of cowboys, of freedom and pride
But today it just reminded me, of nothin' to ride
(Bridge)
Maybe someday I'll saddle up, on a rocking chair
Pretend I'm ridin' across the range, without a care
But for now, I'll just tip my hat, to the memories I hold dear
And sing a little song, to wash away the tear
(Chorus)
It's my horse hat, the one with the mane
Grinnin' at me stupid, like it was بخشی از من (ba'hshi az man) - a part of me
A symbol of cowboys, of freedom and pride
But today it just reminded me, of nothin' to ride
(Outro)
Yeah, nothin' to ride, but maybe someday soon
I'll find my own trail, and sing a happier tune
