Lyrics
Well there's always been groups of people
that never could see eye to eye
And I always thought that if they ever had a chance
to sit down and talk face to face
They might realise they got a lot in common
When I was sitting in a coffee shop,
just having a cuppa to pass the time
Swapping rodeo stories with this old cowboy
friend of mine
When some motorcycle riders started
snickering in the back
Started poking fun at my friend's hat
One of them boys said; Hey, Tex
where you park your horse?
My friend just pulled his hat down low
but they couldn't be ignored
And one husky fella said; I think I'll rip that hat
right off your head
That's when my friend turned around
this is what he said
You'll ride a black tornado,
across the Western skies
[?] will milk you 'til it's dry
Go down to Mississippi
Long before you take this cowboy's hat
Now part of this old hat is better
left alone
You see it used to be my daddy's
but last year he passed on
My nephew gave him the rattler
that makes up this old headband
And back in '69 he died in Vietnam
Now the eagle feather was given to me
by an Indian friend of mine
But somebody ran him down somehwere
around that Arizona line
And a real special lady gave me this hat pin
but I don't know if I'll ever see her again
You'll ride a black tornado,
across the Western skies
[?] will milk you 'til it's dry
Go down to Mississippi
Long before you take this cowboy's hat
Now if that ol' leather jacket means to you
what this hat means to me
Well I guess we understand each other and we'll
just let it be
But if you still think it's funny then you got
my back up against the wall
And if you touch my hat you're gonna have to fight us all
Right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leaders eyes
and he turned back to the others
and they all kinda shuffled on outside
When my friend turned back to me
i noticed his old hat brim turned up
and a big ol' Texas grin
You'll ride a black tornado,
across the Western skies
[?] will milk you 'til it's dry
Go down to Mississippi
Long before you take this cowboy's hat
