skyway man & teddy & the rough riders - the hat song lyrics

[verse 1]
way back in the mining hills of my childhood
where i decided to leave home
knew in a few weeks i’d be 18
and off to the mine i’d be thrown
i had six grown cousins die there
the rest worn to the bone
digging ’till they found out h+ll was their home

[verse 2]
one mornin’ an eagle came to my window
on silver wings it had flown
spoke to me about a truth
that human beings had never known
on the back of a stone it said
where it could be found
i just had to dig under ground

[verse 3]
now i wasn’t a smart boy
but of leaving homе i was pretty sure
when i had my things rеady to go
i saw my mother waiting for me by the door
and she said son, how you gonna leave me?
but if you gotta go
there’s a couple things you oughta know
and she said
[chorus]
hold onto your hat when the wind blows
follow your dreams, make sure you follow your nose
let love be the only trace that you leave
and don’t forget to breathe

[verse 4]
the years rolled on back, floated up into the open sky
i did so much digging out there
might as well have gone to work for the mine
when i got down on my luck
and i thought of going home
i heard the eagle calling out by that stone

[instrumental break]

[verse 5]
when i was digging, and my shovel hit something hard
and i knew right away it was the familiar rocky shard
so i dusted it off and held it high and proud
but i cried when i read the words out loud
and it read

[chorus]
hold onto your hat when the wind blows
follow your dreams, make sure you follow your nose
and let love be the only trace that you leave
and don’t forget to breathe
so hold onto your hat when the wind blows
follow your dreams, make sure you follow your nose
let love be the only, the only trace that you leave
and don’t forget to breathe
