Hat on the Porch

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Found a rusty coat rack standing by the door Shadows on the linoleum, rain against the floor I reached up for the crown, but the hook was bare and cold Lost the only wide-brim hat that ever held my soul [Chorus] Oh, my worn-out felt, my faded navy blue Took thirty years of weather just to shape you true Now the wind hits my forehead, sharp and thin and bare And I'm walking through the downpour with no cover there [Verse 2] That sweatband knew the summer of nineteen-ninety-nine Stained with dusty memories and sour apple wine Left it on a stool down at Miller’s Bottom Bar Or maybe on the trunk lid of an old two-door car [Chorus] Oh, my worn-out felt, my faded navy blue Took thirty years of weather just to shape you true Now the wind hits my forehead, sharp and thin and bare And I'm walking through the downpour with no cover there [Guitar Solo] [Outro] Just a bare head dripping in the midnight rain Looking for a hatband to ease this lowdown pain Yeah, the rain keeps falling down... And my head is bare...
