Underneath This Hat - Cody Johnson

Well I walked into a bar

With my hat pulled way down low

I just hit town and there ain’t nobody I know

The smoke was kinda thick

But the scene was pretty cool

So I grabbed a beer and thought I’d shoot some pool

Yeah just then the bar mate

She walked up and she called me out

She said, «Cowboy why you got your hat pulled down?»

I said, «Underneath this hat

Well there’s a devil standin' tall

And an angel on my shoulder

To make me guilty for it all

I said underneath this hat

Well there’s a Texan standin' proud

And there’s a beggar just lookin' for a crown»

Well I walked into a church

One Sunday mornin' late

Tryin' to figure out what made me go astray

The preacher was preachin' 'bout

Some brimstone and fire

And where I was goin'

If I didn’t change my way

Just then he called me out

He said, «Son, why don’t you come on down?

Dry those tears and pull off that hat you got pulled down»

I said «Preacher, underneath this hat

Well there’s a devil standin' tall

And an angel on my shoulder

To make me guilty for it all

I said underneath this hat

Well there’s a Texan standin' proud

And there’s a sinner tryin' to get Heaven bound»

And I said «Underneath this hat

Lord there’s a devil standin' tall

And my mama on my shoulder

Tryin' to save me from it all

I said underneath this hat

Well there’s a Texan standin' proud

And there’s a sinner tryin' to get Heaven bound»

Yeah I said, «There's a beggar just lookin' for a crown»
