you gotta have a hat

well the music business has been good to me

i've had gold records and been on tv

but mostly i've just tried to make folks laugh so far. yeah. but i decided it'd be nice to walk in a room

and instead i'd get to hear the women all swoon

so i decided i'd become a country hunk record star

well

i went right out and bought a cadillac

wire wheels all around

one on the back

i bought a flat top guitar

learned a few chords from chet

and then i went right out and bought some skin-tight jeans

i thought i'd thought of everything

but my manager said

hold it son
