Description
This is about guys who think that just wear'n a hat makes them look like they just came in off the range rope'n and driven the herd to market. One can usually find them in some music club at night all decked out to the nines in their "Wanna Be Cowboy" duds. This cut features the vocals of Trent Jeffcoat who has a kind of Trace Adkins sound which I was seeking.
Lyrics
A Hat Don’t Make You A Cowboy (Lyrics: by Greg Wright) © Greg Wright Wonder why, some guys try, wear’n all that stuff Cowboy hats and western “Bling”, is just about enough To get my lather up… man they look like jerks… All gussied up and strutt’n in some beer joint after work Big tatoo’s and earings, who’d they think they are? Flash’n wads of greenbacks, ‘n smok’n big cigars… yeah, You can wear that buckle boy, ‘n you can wear them boots That may be a hundred gallon hat now with that suit You ain’t fool’n no one son, and though you’d like to be A hat don’t make you a cowboy - only in your dreams! You think you’re a cowboy son, you’ve got a way to go ‘Cuz, western buckles, boots, and hats, sure ain’t no rodeo All I gotta say is that you’re just about as much, A full blown western cowboy as that Paris Hilton cuss Gucci booted romeos, think they got look Man this ain’t no Broadway stage, hey someone get the hook… yeah, You can wear that buckle boy, ‘n you can wear them boots That may be a hundred gallon hat now with that suit You ain’t fool’n no one son, and though you’d like to be A hat don’t make you a cowboy - only in your dreams! Won’t someone, tell that dude he’s no western sport Stroll’n ‘round look’n like he just lost his horse Even got a great big wad of Skoal tucked in his craw Man I’m tell’n you this loser thinks he’s Tim McGraw,well You can wear that buckle boy, ‘n you can wear them boots That may be a hundred gallon hat now with that suit You ain’t fool’n no one son, and though you’d like to be A hat don’t make you a cowboy… only in your dreams! So go ahead ‘n wear that hat son, go ahead and wear them boots ‘n that’s real nice shiny buckle, with that silly, fringey suit…. Man I don’t know what you’re do’n here, or who the hell you think you are But you damn well ain’t no cowboy, sure ain’t no rodeo star You ain’t no Tuf Cooper… Sure ain’t no Cody Ohl Man you couldn’t touch Ty Murray, with a big ol’ ten foot pole Let me see if I can paint, a picture of stars you ain’t, there’s, Joe Beavers, Clint Cannon, Rocky Garnett, Boogie Ray Cash Meyers, Jake Griffin, Will Yokum, Jake Wade Tim Edge, Jarrod Ford, Beau Franzen, so many more… Scotty Drennan, Spud Duvall, Jesse Eagan, Shain Sprowl
