Lyrics
A Hat Don't Make You A Cowboy © 2009
Wonder why, some guys try, wear'n all that stuff
Cowboy hats and western "Bling", is just about enough
To get my lather up... man they look like jerks...
All gussied up and strutt'n in some beer joint after work
Big tatoo's and earings, who'd they think they are?
Flash'n wads of greenbacks, 'n smok'n big cigars... yeah,
You can wear that buckle boy, 'n you can wear them boots
That may be a hundred gallon hat now with that suit
You ain't fool'n no one son, and though you'd like to be
A hat don't make you a cowboy - only in your dreams!
You think you're a cowboy son, you've got a way to go
'Cuz, western buckles, boots, and hats, sure ain't no rodeo
All I gotta say is that you're just about as much,
A full blown western cowboy as that Paris Hilton cuss
Gucci booted romeos, think they got look
Man this ain't no Broadway stage, hey someone get the
hook...yeah,
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Won't someone, tell that dude he's no western sport
Stroll'n 'round look'n like he just lost his horse
Even got a great big wad of Skoal tucked in his craw
Man I'm tell'n you this loser thinks he's Tim McGraw, well
(REPEAT CHORUS)
So go ahead 'n wear that hat son, go ahead and wear them boots
'n that's real nice shiny buckle, with that silly, fringey suit....
Man I don't know what you're do'n here, or who the hell you think you are
But you damn well ain't no cowboy son, sure ain't no rodeo star
You ain't no Tuf Cooper... Sure ain't no Cody Ohl
Man you couldn't touch Ty Murray, with a big ol' ten foot pole
Let me see if I can paint, a picture of cowboys you ain't....there's,
Joe Beavers, Clint Cannon, Rocky Garnett, Boogie Ray
Cash Meyers, Jake Griffin, Will Yokum, Jake Wade
Tim Edge, Jarrod Ford, Beau Franzen, so many more...
Scotty Drennan, Spud Duvall, Jesse Eagan, Shain Sprowl
