Baseball Cap

Oh I wish that this ole thing could talk about the things it's seen 'Cause it's gone everywhere I've been, like another part of me It's faded black, a little bit torn, and the front is falling down But it's been faithful to hold me true the whole time it's been around And no I wouldn't trade it for a nicer one 'Cause I've got memories with this thing, yeah all the things we've done Cruising down 45 memory lane in a beat-up pickup truck Guitar picking in little ole bars, just trying to test my luck Picking up girls and seeing the world like a Neon Rainbow singer And holding on tight to a bright white light as a Margaritaville drinker Some people have said to go throw it in the scrap No, but they don't know the half of my baseball cap If it ain't on, I'm sitting in a pew or at the table It's been through dirt, high water, and hell anytime that it was able It sits beside me when I sleep and on me when I rise It smells like Marlboro, whiskey, and hayfields and stays above my eyes But I'm thankful it's been there to see me through It spent more time with me alone than I ever did with you Oh, cruising down 45 memory lane in a beat-up pickup truck Guitar picking in little ole bars, just trying to test my luck Picking up girls and seeing the world like a Neon Rainbow singer And holding on tight to a bright white light as a Margaritaville drinker Some people have said to go throw it in the scrap No, but they don't know the half of my baseball cap I wore it tearing through a muddy dirt field when I left you in the dust It stayed on my head whenever I said "I don't want this, not us." It sat on my dash when I cried on a steering wheel later that night And no it couldn't make all my wrongs right But it went Cruising down 45 memory lane in a beat-up pickup truck Guitar picking in little ole bars, just trying to test my luck Picking up girls and seeing the world like a Neon Rainbow singer And holding on tight to a bright white light as a Margaritaville drinker Some people have said to go throw it in the scrap No, but they don't know the half of my baseball cap
