Hat & Boots

from Average American Band by VOLK

lyrics

He's got a hundred dollar saddle for a twenty dollar horse,
Thinks the sun comes every morning just to hear him crow.
Oh just to hear him crow.
Yah he's got enough lip for ten rows of teeth,
But the noisiest bucket tends to be the most empty.
Hot damn is he empty.

Hat and Boots, you got a lot to lose.
Hat and Boots, ah what you think that proves.

He'll wear a smile for your mother and a pistol for your father,
Slip a franklin in the offer but it'll cost the preacher's daughter.
And he call's himself a martyr.
'Cause a wink and a grin does not a gentlemen make,
Only Trailer Trash Betty's thinking you're a saint.
Can of dip, you got it made.

Hat and Boots, you got a lot to lose.
Hat and Boots, ah what you think that proves.

It'd take a cattle of men and a river of booze,
To make this girl walk a mile in your self-righteous shoes
Ah singin' that self-righteous blues.
They say a cowboy can live off his old hat and boots,
I reckon you ain't makin' it past high-noon.

Hat and Boots, you got a lot to lose.
Hat and Boots, ah what you think that proves.
