My Old Hat

The musky Monterey, smells like sailors far away
The sealions' song, from further on beyond the rocks behind the bay
The Big Sur purred as we went through her
Drove away those busy days, arriving late beneath the stars
The campfire's heart brought peace again

My whiskey's warm like cracks in the lava
Pacific Highway drove right past ya
Earthquake shakes at the point of vista
See you later, Hasta La Vista!
Sat to the whistle of the wind that night
Talking of everything we like
She said "You don't need time or more of it
But just to decide and be sure of it!"
We've all had bumps in the road
The choke in your throat as the feeling grows
Silently she confides in me
There's an old hat feeling inside of me
Sat to the whistle of the wind that night
Talking of everything we like
She said "You don't need time or more of it
But just to decide and be sure of it!"
Oh sweet Virginia, wedding ringer
A bowl of booze and schoolbus fools
Drinks alfresco, dancing disco take that
Yankee hankee by the hand
She refrained from her ruined plans
The aderol, taken it's toll
The potent promises to visit
When I make my miss a mrs

My Old hat sits on my head
I'll put it on with no regrets
My old hat sits on my head
I'll think about it when I'm dead
My old hat sits on me
I'll put it on with no regrets, oh
My old hat sits on me
I'll think about it when I'm dead
My whiskey's warm like cracks in the lava
Pacific Highway drove right past ya
Earthquake shakes at the point of vista
See you later, Hasta La Vista!
Sat to the whistle of the wind that night
Talking of everything we like
She said "You don't need time or more of it
But just to decide and be sure of it!"
