Big Man's Hat - Charlie Peacock, Kevin Max

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 Veterans 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

You got to know one good lick

To play in a one lick band

But 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 of this because I wore a big man’s hat?

A big man’s hat

I used to have a big man’s thoughts

In a young man’s world

You got to have big man’s thoughts

To make a big man’s girl

And when I finally made that girl

She did not have a clue

That I would break her like a matchstick

That I could turn young love to the third world war

I’d sit in the seat where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love to the third world war

I’d sit in the seat where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love to the third world war

I’d sit in the seat where the devil had sat

That I could turn young love to the third world war

I’d sit in the seat where the devil had sat

Was 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

I wore a big man’s hat?

Is there a rhyme and a reason?

A cause and effect?

Was all of this directly related to the fact

I wore a big man’s hat?

I wore, I wore, I wore a big man’s hat

I wore, I wore, I wore a big man’s hat

I wore a big man’s hat

I wore a big man’s hat

I wore a big man’s hat

Up upon my head I wore it, mm-hmm

Up upon my head it sat

Up upon my head I wore it

I wore a big man’s hat, that’s right

Up upon my head I wore it, oh, yeah

Up upon my head it sat, mm-hmm

Up upon my head I wore it

I wore a big man’s hat

Did you know it, did you know it

Did you know it

Up upon my head I wore it, oh, yes, I did

Up upon my head it sat, mm-hmm

Up upon my head I wore it

I wore a big man’s hat

(I wore, I wore)

I wore a big man’s hat

(I wore, I wore)

I wore a big man’s hat, mm-hmm

(I wore, I wore)

I wore a big man’s hat

(I wore, I wore)
