Lyrics
Hang my hat Yves Stilmant © 2025
(Verse 1)
Left that town in a cloud of dust
Heart full of fire and a tank full of rust
Tired of bars and backseat nights
Chasin' dreams under neon lights
I've been runnin' on empty miles
Every road just buys me time
But I ain't lookin' for the next fast track
I'm lookin' for a way to turn back
(Pre-Chorus)
Give me peace, give me land
A little house with a rockin' band
A front porch view, a reason to stay
Where I can throw these boots away
(Chorus)
I just wanna hang my hat
Where the world slows down and the roots run flat
Somewhere quiet on the edge of a map
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
Where the world slows down and the roots run flat
Somewhere quiet on the edge of a map
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
Find that girl, raise some kids
Live a life that love built in
A little dirt road -- I'm good with that
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
(Verse 2)
Done with the high life, it ain't so high
When you're always gone and you don't know why
Seen a thousand towns, not one felt right
'Til I dreamed of you by my side
(Pre-Chorus)
Give me peace, give me land
A Sunday morning, a wedding band
A swingin' gate, a welcome sign
That says "this piece of heaven's mine"
(Chorus)
I just wanna hang my hat
Where the world slows down and the roots run flat
Somewhere quiet on the edge of a map
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
Where the world slows down and the roots run flat
Somewhere quiet on the edge of a map
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
Find that girl, raise some kids
Live a life that love built in
A little dirt road -- I'm good with that
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
(Bridge)
Someday I'll pull in that drive
Hear a voice say, "baby, you're right on time"
That's when I'll know I'm home
(Final Chorus)
I just wanna hang my hat
Where the world slows down and the roots run flat
Somewhere quiet on the edge of a map
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
Find that girl, raise some kids
Live a life that love built in
No more runnin' -- I'm done with that
Yeah, I just wanna hang my hat
(Outro)
Yeah, I just wanna hang... my hat
