Now partner, this ol' hats better left alone,
see it used to be my daddy's, but last year he passed on,
My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this ol' hat band,
but back in 69 he died in vietnam.
this eagle feather was given to me by an old indian friend of mine,
someone ran him down somewhere along 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
Now if your jacket means to you what this hat means to me,
then we understand eachother, and we'll just let it be,
but if you still think its funny, man you got my back up against the wall,
and if you touch my hat, you'll have to fight us all!
~now it's safe to say that that song isn't about this particular hat, but the sentiments ring true,~
right down to that special lady, that I may never see again.
This hat just happens to be one of what I consider my only true possesions I have left after my house burnt down
(go figure I was wearin' her at the time, if you couldn't tell, hardly a day goes by without me puttin 'er on)
as such alot of fond and not so fond memories are now tied to this ol' hat of mine
