(Spoken) Well there's always been groups of people that could never see eye to eye [00:00:01]
An' I always thought if they'd get the chance to sit down[00:00:06]
And talk face to face they might realize they got a lot in common [00:00:08]
Well I was sittin' in a coffee shop just havin' a cup to pass the time [00:00:12]
Swappin' rodeo stories with this ole cowboy friend of mine [00:00:29]
When some motor-cycle riders started snickerin' in the back[00:00:34]
Started pokin' fun at my friend's hat [00:00:39]
One ole boy said hey Tex where'd you park your horse [00:00:45]
My friend just pulled his hat down low but they couldn't be ingnored [00:00:50]
One husky fellow said I think I'll rip that hat right off your head [00:00:56]
That's when my friend turned around and this is what he said [00:01:00]
You'll ride a black tornado cross't the western sky[00:01:06]
Rope an ole blue norther and milk it till it's dry[00:01:12]
Bull dawg the Mississippi pin it's ears down flat [00:01:17]
Long before you take this cowboy's hat [00:01:23]
Now partner this ole hat is better left alone [00:01:29]
She used to be my daddy's but last year he passed on [00:01:34]
My nephew skinned the Rattler that makes up this ole hatband [00:01:40]
But back in 69 he died in Viet_Nam[00:01:44]
Now the eagle feather was given to me by an indian friend of mine[00:01:48]
But someone ran him down somewheres round that Arizona line[00:01:56]
And a real special lady gave me this hat pin[00:02:01]
But I don't know if I'll ever see her again [00:02:07]
You'll ride a black tornado cross't the western sky[00:02:12]
Rope an ole blue norther and Milk it till it's dry[00:02:18]
Bull dawg the Mississippi pin it's ears down flat [00:02:23]
Long before you take this cowboy's hat [00:02:29]
Now if your leather jacket means to you what this hat means to me[00:02:35]
Then I guess we understand each other and we'll just let it be [00:02:40]
But if you still think it's funny man you got my back up against the wall [00:02:46]
And if you touch my hat your gonna have to fight us all [00:02:50]
Well right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leaders eyes [00:02:57]
And he turned back t'wards the others and they all just sorta shuffled on outside[00:03:02]
But when my friend turned back t'wards me I noticed his old hat brim[00:03:08]
Well it was turned up in a big ole texas grin[00:03:13]
You'll ride a black tornado cross't the western sky[00:03:18]
Rope an ole blue norther and Milk it till it's dry[00:03:24]
Bull dawg the Mississippi pin it's ears down flat [00:03:29]
Long before you take this cowboy's hat[00:03:35]
