Under This Ole Hat

Burnin up the highway

Florida to Tennessee

Cuttin' out a path like a trucker flashin' high beams

Forty years of road doggin blurrin' like a daydream

Screaming down the interstate

Lightning in the bloodstream

Time flies by like a bullet down the train track

Miles and miles under this ole hat

Load in another town

Leave it all on the stage

Turn it up, tear it down

Turn 'em on, turn the page

Wichita to Kansas City

Amarillo, Albuquerque

Break down, up and running

Arizona in a hurry

Worn out, throw it back

Beatin' out a heart attack

Miles and miles under this ole hat

I was a fast car coming down out of control

Now I'm the last train running tryna loosen my load

Breaking out of Nashville, chasing a sound

Not a clue or knowing even where I'm bound

But you never need to wonder where I'm at

You can find me hanging out

Under this ole hat

Soul shaking, ripping, roaring

California star gazing

Trailblazing, chance taking

Rain making, lighter raising

Subs thumping, wheel squealing

Show stopping, scene stealing

Heading south, long haul

Muscle Shoals, how you feeling?

Hit the road, hit the sack

Take it in and play it back

Miles and miles under this ole hat

I was a fast car coming down out of control

Now I'm the last train running tryna loosen my load

Breaking out of Nashville, chasing a sound

Not a clue or knowing even where I'm bound

But you never need to wonder where I'm at

You can find me hanging out

Under this ole hat

Well, God bless Charlie Pride

James Brown, CDB

The real writers, ride or diers

Way up in the cheap seats

The road crew, the day makers

Runners, gunners, ticket takers

Horse trading, pulling favors

Front of house, pushing faders

10-4, copy that

Moving forward, flashing back

Miles and miles under this ole hat

I was a fast car coming down out of control

Now I'm the last train running tryna loosen my load

Breaking out of Nashville, chasing a sound

Not a clue or knowing even where I'm bound

But you never need to wonder where I'm at

You can find me hanging out

I've been running miles and miles

Miles and miles

Miles and miles

Under this ole hat

Under this ole hat

I've been hanging out

Under this ole hat
