《Old Army Hat》歌词

[00:00:01] Old Army Hat - Billy Ray Cyrus

[00:00:10] He came home to Tennessee

[00:00:13] Young man at the end of forty five

[00:00:18] Only one of seven men in his platoon

[00:00:22] That made it back alive

[00:00:26] And he must've seen some tough things

[00:00:28] But he never said too much about all that

[00:00:33] Put his pictures and his

[00:00:35] Memories in our seater chairs

[00:00:39] Everything but his old army hat

[00:00:44] By the time that I was born

[00:00:46] The winds of change had

[00:00:48] Swept across our land

[00:00:51] They were burning flags and draft cards

[00:00:54] When they bothered to take

[00:00:56] Some kind of stand

[00:00:59] Now we used to laugh at grandpa

[00:01:02] Like he was some old relic from the past

[00:01:07] 'Cause he never left the

[00:01:08] House unless he was wearing

[00:01:12] That funny looking worn out army hat

[00:01:17] Every eye was on him

[00:01:20] Anytime when he went anywhere

[00:01:25] They whispered and they pointed

[00:01:27] But you could tell my grandpa didn't care

[00:01:33] "I ain't wearing this for them" he'd say

[00:01:36] "It's a whole lot more than that

[00:01:40] For my buddies who gave everything

[00:01:43] The least that I can do is keep

[00:01:46] On wearing this old army hat"

[00:01:53] He called me up one morning

[00:01:56] Said he'd seen it on the news on his TV

[00:02:01] "They've opened up a

[00:02:02] Monument on World War II

[00:02:04] In Washington DC"

[00:02:09] "I ain't getting any younger

[00:02:11] And I wish someone

[00:02:13] Would take me to see that"

[00:02:16] And I couldn't help but think they're

[00:02:19] Gonna laugh at you up there

[00:02:22] If you show up in that silly army hat

[00:02:27] Two strangers both salute

[00:02:30] As grandpa walked

[00:02:31] Up to the monument

[00:02:35] One said "Thank you soldier

[00:02:37] For the job well done"

[00:02:39] The other said "Amen"

[00:02:42] And a young boy told him

[00:02:44] "Sir my daddy went to war

[00:02:47] And didn't make it back

[00:02:50] Could you take a picture

[00:02:51] Standing here beside me

[00:02:55] And maybe let me wear

[00:02:57] Your army hat"

[00:03:01] Every eye was on him

[00:03:04] There was not a dry one in the crowd

[00:03:08] They whispered and they pointed

[00:03:11] As my grandpa stood up

[00:03:12] Extra tall and proud

[00:03:16] And he told him "Son just keep it"

[00:03:18] When the young boy tried his

[00:03:20] Best to give it back

[00:03:24] "You're a brave little soldier

[00:03:26] And every soldier needs

[00:03:29] His very own authentic army hat"

[00:03:34] "For your daddy who gave

[00:03:35] Everything the least that I can do

[00:03:39] Is pass on this old worn out army hat"
