Hats Off Lyrics - Alabama

The stage is set tonight down in Nashville 

It's been a long, hard ride into town 

And thanks to some cowboys and heroes 

My chance to sing has finally come around 

The first song I ever sang was Haggard's 

Momma sang to me, "I Saw the Light" 

And I'd turn my radio up louder 

To hear Johnny Cash walk the line 

Mmmm 

Ol' Waylon sang the songs about Texas 

Willie's blue eyes, cryin' in the rain 

Bocephus sang the songs about Dixie 

And Lefty taught us, all how to sing

Chorus 

Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys 

Riding somewhere tonight 

Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys 

Wanted, dead or alive 

Well, Charlie ran the Devil out of Georgia 

Skynyrd sang of sweet home Alabam' 

The Allman Brothers taught us how to ramble 

And the Tucker boys showed us how to jam 

Chorus 

Well, the stage is set tonight up in Heaven 

And Reba's band is there with Patsy Cline 

And all around there's cowboys and cowgirls 

And thanks to them, the music's still alive

Hats off to hard ridin' cowboys 

Flyin' somewhere tonight 

Hats off to hard flyin' cowboys 

Wanted, dead or alive
