More Than a Hat

He pulled up into downtown with a cloud of Mercedes dust

Seemed kind of disappointed they all weren't impressed that much

Old men on the front porch outside the general store

Tipped their hats politely they'd seen his kind before

When he stopped outside that honky tonk and took a look around

Put his head inside that big black hat with his snakeskin boots on the ground

But it's, not about your money, it's not about what you drive

It's all about your spirit, and what goes on behind your eyes

Not about your talking, it's what you got to say

Not how tall your walking, it's how you play the game

It takes more than just a hat to make a cowboy

I said a cowboy

It takes more than just a hat to make a cowboy

Well he came down from the city, he was looking' for his roots.

Trying' to dazzle everyone with his big buckle and his boots

When he walked into that Honky Tonk he knew he was out of place

Like all the others who'd come before, he was gone without a trace

But it's, not about your money, it's not about what you drive

It's all about your spirit, and what goes on behind your eyes

Not about your talking, it's what you got to say

Not how tall your walking, it's how you play the game

It takes more than just a hat to make a cowboy

I said a cowboy

It takes more than just a hat to make a cowboy

When he walked into that Honky Tonk he knew he was out of place

It's all about your spirit, and what goes on behind your eyes

Not about your talking, it's what you got to say

Not how tall your walking, it's how you play the game

It takes more than just a hat to make a cowboy

It takes more than just a hat to make a cowboy
