Old Hat

(album: Clare Dunn - 2015)

Once upon a time
There was a girl
Running 'round in her daddy's old truck
Couldn't wait to see the world
And shake off that old dust
And once upon a dream
There was a land
Of bright lights and big city
Boys were fast
And the girls talked pretty

Then one day
I got the call

Now I got your old hat
I put it on sometimes
When I wish I knew what you would do
And needed some advice
I've got your old hat
And every now and then
I wear it backwards even though you hated that
And I swear I can almost hear you laugh
It's sun kissed
And it's sweat stained
It's too big and it's right brained
But knowing that you're never ever coming back
That'll never be, oh never be
Old hat

The years, they roll on by
And when the days are black
And the nights are blue
I've give anything
Just to talk to you

Guess it's the little things
That get you through

And I've got your old hat
I put it on sometimes
When I wish I knew what you would do
And I needed some advice
I've got your old hat
And every now and then
I wear it backwards even though you hated that
And I swear I can almost hear you laugh
It's sun kissed
And it's sweat stained
Too big, and it's right brained
It's seen sun ups and sun downs
It's beat up
And it's worn out
And everybody says it's seen it's better days
And I let 'em throw everything else away
But your old hat
