I have Waylon's gimme cap.

It blew off his head in Levelland, Texas.

It's red and white, and has a pale, sky blue oval in the center

With the Co-op logo from Hockley County.

His name is written on the inside

With what looks like ball point pen ink.

I was walking down a dirt road

When his cousin's pickup passed me

And the hat flew out.

I saw where they turned in,

And so I walked up to the big warehouse

To see if I could give it back to him.

There was a whole bunch of men in there,

Drinking and smoking cigars.

There were two guys fighting 

In a big truck repair well.

They were cursing at each other,

Insulting one another,

Trying to aggravate the pitch of their brawl.

I felt very out of place

And got out of there as fast as I could.

I kept that hat.

I hold it sometimes,

And look at the sweat stains on it.

I hold it to my face.

It smells like a horse,

But I wear it sometimes 

While I play guitar.
