[00:00.10]Well there's always been groups of people that never could see eye to eye
[00:03.92]And I always thought if they ever had a chance to sit down and talk face to face
[00:07.59]They might realize they got a lot in common
[00:16.17]
[00:23.18]Well I was sittin' in a coffee shop
[00:25.12]Just havin' a cup to pass the time
[00:28.78]Swappin' rodeo stories with this old cowboy friend of mine
[00:34.86]When some motorcycle riders started snickerin' in the back
[00:39.64]Started pokin' fun at my friend's hat
[00:46.01]One ol' boy said "Hey Tex where'd you park your horse?"
[00:52.27]My friend just pulled his hat down low but they couldn't be ignored
[00:57.61]One husky fella said "I think I'll rip that hat right off your head."
[01:03.25]That's when my friend turned around and this is what he said
[01:06.98]
[01:08.61]"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
[01:14.74]Rope an old Blue Northern and milk it till it's dry
[01:20.01]Bulldog the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
[01:26.07]Long before you take this cowboy's hat
[01:33.95]
[01:35.14]"Now partner,this old hat is better left alone
[01:40.84]You see it used to be my daddy's
[01:43.13]But last year he passed on
[01:47.10]My nephew skinned the rattler that makes up this ol' hatband
[01:51.88]And back in '69 he died in Vietnam
[01:57.83]Now the eagle feather was given to me by an Indian friend of mine
[02:04.23]But somebody ran him down somewhere around that Arizona line
[02:09.77]And a real special lady gave me this hat pin
[02:15.03]But I don't know if I'll ever see her again
[02:19.10]
[02:20.93]"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
[02:26.65]Rope an ol Blue Norther and milk it till it's dry
[02:31.99]Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
[02:38.19]Long before you take this cowboy's hat
[02:45.37]
[02:47.35]"Now,if that old leather jaket means to you what this hat means to me
[02:53.15]Well,I guess we understand each other and we'll just let it be
[02:58.78]But if you still think it's funny, you've got my back up against the wall
[03:03.90]And if you touch my hat,you're gonna have to fight us all"
[03:10.49]Well right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leader's eyes
[03:15.75]And he turned back to the others and they all just kinda shuffled on outside
[03:21.80]But when my friend turned back towards me
[03:24.87]I noticed his ol' hat brim
[03:26.85]Well it was turned up in a big ol' Texas grin
[03:31.40]
[03:32.71]"You'll ride a black tornado 'cross the western sky
[03:38.55]Rope an ol Blue Norther and milk it till it's dry
[03:44.01]Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin its ears down flat
[03:50.01]Long before you take this cowboy's hat"
