Hats Off

The stage is set tonight down in Nashville
 It's been a long, hard ride into town
 And thanks to some cowboys and heroes
 My chance to sing has finally come around
 The first song I ever sang was Haggard's
 Momma sang to me "I saw the light"
 And I'd turn my radio up louder
 To hear Johnny Cash walk the line
 Mhmm
 Ol' Waylon sang the songs about Texas
 Willie's blue eyes, cryin' in the rain
 Bocephus sang a song about Dixie
 And Lefty taught us all how to sing
 Hats off to hard-ridin' cowboys
 Riding somewhere tonight
 Hats off to hard-ridin' cowboys
 Wanted, dead or alive
 Well, Charlie ran the devil out of Georgia
 Skynyrd sang of sweet home Alabam'
 The Allman Brothers taught us how to ramble
 And the Tucker Boys showed us how to jam
 Hats off to hard-ridin' cowboys
 Riding somewhere tonight
 Hats off to hard-ridin' cowboys
 Wanted, dead or alive
 Well, the stage is set tonight up in heaven
 And Reba's band is there with Patsy Cline
 And all around there's cowboys and cowgirls
 And thanks to them, the music's still alive
 Hats off to hard-ridin' cowboys
 Flyin' somewhere tonight
 Hats off to hard flyin' cowboys
 Wanted, dead or alive
