Every hat has a story

He was sittin at the counter John Deere hat upon his head
Dust on his coveralls spreading jelly on his bread
The years had not been kind to him or the wrinkles that he shared
All the hours on a tractor and the miles that lay ahead

Chorus
Every hat has a story
Hiding journeys left untold
Some are caked with sweat and dirt
While others are unsoiled
Do not make a judgement
Of the wearer you don’t know
Every hat has a story and a lesson to unfold

A tall man in an Army cap sat down slowly on his right
The farmer drank some coffee tipped his hat to show his pride
The veteran gave a smile as a waitress passed on by
Appreciating the moment and taking it all in stride

Chorus

And I sit here in my Yankee cap reminiscing bout the past
Never knowing October of “96” would be one of my last
All I ever wanted was to hang tough with the best
Colored in Yankee gray with pinstripes on my chest


I finished up my ham and eggs then turned slowly to my right
And to the farmer i said grandpa I’ll see you later on tonight
Then I walked behind him slowly to the veteran sitting there
And gave a hug to my father and headed slowly to the cashier
