Lyrics

Beat up western Stetson silverbelly Open Road
Sitting on his lap as that old veteran rolled
His creaking VA wheelchair down the street our houses share
He waived me down and held that felt hat straight up in the air
He said I know you're a traveler singing songs from town to town
And way back in my glory days, boy, I sure got around
My knees don't work as easy as they used to I'm afraid
But I still got that urge to roam, and I think I've found a way
So soak up the sun in the shade beneath the brim
Don't get too bent out of shape if the road that you're on ends
And if you're alone under its shadow, then let somebody in
Take it 'round the world and tell me where it's been
He said go on boy and take it with you out there in the wild
Hell, I don't even know if these old things are still in style
But if it's not too much to ask, I'd really love to know
What it's seeing every now and then when you come home
So soak up the sun in the shade beneath the brim
Don't get too bent out of shape if the road that you're on ends
And if you're alone under its shadow, then let somebody in
Take it 'round the world and tell me where it's been
I told him that I couldn't possibly accept the gift
And he said son I don't see nothing resting up there on your head
Besides it ain't about the hat I'm giving you, you know
It's the chance to stretch my legs a few more times before I go
So soak up the sun in the shade beneath the brim
Don't get too bent out of shape if the road that you're on ends
And if you're alone under its shadow, then let somebody in
Take it 'round the world and tell me where it's been
I've been flying solo out there on the interstate
For as long as I've had songs to sing and bars that I could play
But sitting on the dash three hundred fifty miles from home
There's a beat up western Stetson silverbelly Open Road
