Old Army Hat - Billy Ray Cyrus
He came home to Tennessee
Young man at the end of forty five

Only one of seven men in his platoon
That made it back alive

And he must've seen some tough things
But he never said too much about all that

Put his pictures and his
memories in our seater chairs

Everything but his old army hat

By the time that I was born
The winds of change had
swept across our land

They were burning flags and draft cards
When they bothered to take
some kind of stand

Now we used to laugh at grandpa
Like he was some old relic from the past

'Cause he never left the
house unless he was wearing

That funny looking worn out army hat

Every eye was on him

Anytime when he went anywhere

They whispered and they pointed

But you could tell my grandpa didn't care

"I ain't wearing this for them", he'd say
"It's a whole lot more than that

For my buddies who gave everything
The least that I can do is keep
on wearing this old army hat"

He called me up one morning
Said he'd seen it on the news on his TV

"They've opened up a
monument on World War II
In Washington DC"

"I ain't getting any younger
And I wish someone
would take me to see that"

And I couldn't help but think they're
gonna laugh at you up there
If you show up in that silly army hat

Two strangers, both salute

As grandpa walked
up to the monument

One said, "Thank you soldier,
for the job well done"
The other said, "Amen"

And a young boy told him
"Sir, my daddy went to war
and didn't make it back

Could you take a picture
standing here beside me

And maybe let me wear
your army hat"

Every eye was on him

There was not a dry one in the crowd

They whispered and they pointed
As my grandpa stood up
extra tall and proud

And he told him, "Son, just keep it"
When the young boy tried his
best to give it back

"You're a brave little soldier
and every soldier needs
His very own authentic army hat"

"For your daddy who gave
everything the least that I can do

Is pass on this old worn out army hat"
