tom t. hall - hat full of feathers lyrics

[verse 1:]
i was almost full grown gettin’ wide in the shoulders
rubbin’ my h-rns on a tree
when i noticed that ladies had big eyes for cowboys
they weren’t noticin’ me
i bought me a stetson and all of the trappin’s
hung out where cowboys all gathered
i copied their style and their slow way of talkin’
walked like i was chaffed by the leather
i tasted the smiles of the rodeo queens
and i lied about rides that i’d made
then a honker from jasper i’d been l-stin’ after
said i’ll be out to watch you today
oh the riggin’ was borrowed but the fear was my own
it was me and all h-ll tied together
too d-mn scared to fall boys i won it all
and that’s how i got my first feather

[chorus:]
a feather for ev’ry event that i’ve won
i will be a contender forever
an all around cowboy i outrode ’em all
and i got me a hat full of feathers

[verse 2:]
well i feathered my hat through a lot of hard miles
swapped bruises in a lot of good towns
lord how many cowboys and ladies and bronks
have left me laid out on the ground i don’t know
i’ve had ev’ry bone broken and son i ain’t jokin’
it’s painful to be wired together
i ain’t quiet so proud as i was awhile ago
but i got me a hat full of feathers

[chorus]

[outro:]
a feather for ev’ry event that i’ve won
and all of the storms i have weathered
an all around cowboy holdin’ my own
with a shabby ole hat full of feathers
