Old Army Hat - Billy Ray Cyrus[00:00:01]

He came home to Tennessee[00:00:10]

Young man at the end of forty five[00:00:13]

Only one of seven men in his platoon[00:00:18]

That made it back alive[00:00:22]

And he must've seen some tough things[00:00:26]

But he never said too much about all that[00:00:28]

Put his pictures and his[00:00:33]

Memories in our seater chairs[00:00:35]

Everything but his old army hat[00:00:39]

By the time that I was born[00:00:44]

The winds of change had[00:00:46]

Swept across our land[00:00:48]

They were burning flags and draft cards[00:00:51]

When they bothered to take[00:00:54]

Some kind of stand[00:00:56]

Now we used to laugh at grandpa[00:00:59]

Like he was some old relic from the past[00:01:02]

'Cause he never left the[00:01:07]

House unless he was wearing[00:01:08]

That funny looking worn out army hat[00:01:12]

Every eye was on him[00:01:17]

Anytime when he went anywhere[00:01:20]

They whispered and they pointed[00:01:25]

But you could tell my grandpa didn't care[00:01:27]

"I ain't wearing this for them" he'd say[00:01:33]

"It's a whole lot more than that[00:01:36]

For my buddies who gave everything[00:01:40]

The least that I can do is keep[00:01:43]

On wearing this old army hat"[00:01:46]

He called me up one morning[00:01:53]

Said he'd seen it on the news on his TV[00:01:56]

"They've opened up a[00:02:01]

Monument on World War II[00:02:02]

In Washington DC"[00:02:04]

"I ain't getting any younger[00:02:09]

And I wish someone[00:02:11]

Would take me to see that"[00:02:13]

And I couldn't help but think they're[00:02:16]

Gonna laugh at you up there[00:02:19]

If you show up in that silly army hat[00:02:22]

Two strangers both salute[00:02:27]

As grandpa walked[00:02:30]

Up to the monument[00:02:31]

One said "Thank you soldier [00:02:35]

For the job well done"[00:02:37]

The other said "Amen"[00:02:39]

And a young boy told him[00:02:42]

"Sir my daddy went to war[00:02:44]

And didn't make it back[00:02:47]

Could you take a picture[00:02:50]

Standing here beside me[00:02:51]

And maybe let me wear[00:02:55]

Your army hat"[00:02:57]

Every eye was on him[00:03:01]

There was not a dry one in the crowd[00:03:04]

They whispered and they pointed[00:03:08]

As my grandpa stood up[00:03:11]

Extra tall and proud[00:03:12]

And he told him "Son just keep it"[00:03:16]

When the young boy tried his[00:03:18]

Best to give it back[00:03:20]

"You're a brave little soldier[00:03:24]

And every soldier needs[00:03:26]

His very own authentic army hat"[00:03:29]

"For your daddy who gave[00:03:34]

Everything the least that I can do[00:03:35]

Is pass on this old worn out army hat"[00:03:39]
