Lyrics
IF THIS OLD HAT COULD TALK
c 2017 Words: Ryan
Music: Plimmer
I still heard Grandpa talkin'
When I paid my last respects
A storyteller in this life
And I'm sure one in the next
Now, wherever up there Grandpa's at
I know that he can see
I'm wearin' that old Stetson hat
He handed down to me
If this old hat could talk
Ninety years of tales to tell
'Bout bluegrass shows and rodeos
And raisin' holy hell
Across America the beautiful
Everywhere his boots would walk
Yeah, I'm sure we'd hear a whole lot more
If this old hat could talk
How he met some kid named Elvis
When he passed through Tupelo
How he was stationed down in Texas
And was there for Hank's last show
He sure could tell a story
But just between me and you
If this hat ever gets to talkin'
Bet it tells us they're all true
CHORUS
Although I'll always wear it
It's something you'll inherit
And I hope much later on
It tells my story when I'm gone
CHORUS
