Alabama - Hats Off

The stage is set tonight down in Nashville


It's been a long, hard ride into town


And thanks to some cowboys and heros


My chance to sing has finally come around





The first song I ever sang was haggard


Momma sang to me I saw the Light


I'd turn my radio up louder


To hear Johnny Cash walk the line





Waylon sang a song about Texas


Willie's "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain"


Bocephus sings a song about dixie.


Lefty taught us all how to sing.





Hats off to hard riding cowboys


Riding some where tonight


Hats off to hard riding cowboys


Wanted, dead or alive





Charlie ran the devil out of Georgia


Skynyrd sang sweet home Alabam


The Ahlman brothers taught us how to ramble


And to Tucker boys showed us how to jam.





Hats off to hard riding cowboys


Riding some where tonight


Hats off to hard riding cowboys


Wanted, dead or alive





The stage is set tonight up in Heaven


Rebas band is there with Patsy Cline


And all around are cowboys and cowgirls


And thanks to them the music's still alive





Hats off to hard riding cowboys


Flying somewhere tonight


Hats off to hard fighting cowboys


Wanted, dead or alive





Hats off to hard riding cowboys


Flying somewhere tonight


Hats off to hard fighting cowboys


Wanted, dead or alive
