Big Man's Hat

I used to wear a big man's hat

In a big man's world

You got to have a big man's hat

In a big man's world

But I was just a child then

I acted like a boy

I bought my shirts at the Veteran's Thrift

I wore myself a fur lined motorcycle jacket

I had to have peg legged jeans

I was one bad cat

And don't you forget

I wore a big man's hat

Oh yes

A big man's hat

I learned myself one good lick

From a one lick man, oh yes

(Oh yes)

You got to know one good lick

To play in a one lick band

Well, I was just a child then

I didn't know a thing

No, no, no

I thought I had to talk like a fool

I thought I had to drink like a goldfish

I thought I had to lie like a dog, I was one sick cat

Was all this because

I wore a big man's hat

A big man's hat

I used to have big man's thoughts

In a young man's world

(Oh-oh-oh)

You got to have big man's thoughts

To make a big man's girl

And when I finally met that girl

She did not have a clue

That I would break her like a matchstick

That I could turn young love

Into the third world war

That I'd sit in the seat

Where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love

Into the third world war

That I'd sit in the seat

Where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love

Into the third world war

That I'd sit in the seat

Where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love

Into the third world war

That I'd sit in the seat

Where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love

Into the third world war

That I'd sit in the seat

Where the devil had sat

Was all of this because

(All of this because)

All of this because

(Was all of this because)

Was all of this because

(All of this because)

I wore a big man's hat?

(Big man's hat)

Is there a rhyme and a reason?

A cause and effect?

Was all of this directly related to the fact

Whoa, yeah
