My Old Hat

I've got this old cowboy hat It's my favorite one to wear, It's about the only thing I own That I'm not willing to share; Now to see it May not turn your eye, But, we've been through a heap together This ol' hat and I; We've fanned our share of hot summer days Mighty dry and tough, And held tight on many a cold winters night More than just a bit frosty and rough; We've rode through Panhandle sandstorms And Rocky mountain blizzards, Together we've swallowed 'nuff sand and sleet To plug even Paul Bunyan's gizzard! We've hazed the edge off buckin' broncs in Montana snow And wild mustangs in the desert heat, Still no matter if it's 100 above or 20 below We'll stick it out and have 'em all beat. We're a team Me and this good old cowboy hat, Throughout times soft or hard Thin or fat, We'll hang tough And forever together stay, Right on through Our final earthly day. Now, when the time comes Heavenward to go, I sure hope the good Lord will understand me asking To keep my ol' hat on..... beneath that shiny new halo.
