Lyrics

Verse 1

Got it on the day that I turned thirteen
Couldn't wait to put it on support my team
Over the next twelve years it became a part of me
Now its stained with grease and the brim is frayed So worn down you can't read the name
Of the school that I went to
It was there that I met you

Chorus

When I leant it to the pretty girl with the Kelly green eyes Wore it the day that I asked her to be mine
Slammed it down when we lost the game
It hid my face when the good lord came
For my old man, yeah, he's who bought it Every foul ball, yeah, he's who caught it Had a bird's eye view of my life
I wear it every day, yeah, I don't think twice
No matter the weather it's a fact I'll be wearing that ball cap

Verse 2

You'd be right to say it smells as bad as it looks Duck tape on the back has replaced the hooks I wear it even when I pray
I only show my hair at my momma's table
It's seen every fishin' hole for miles around
It's part of my dressed up when I go downtown It's been with me all the way
Man it sure helped me out that day

Chorus

When I lent it to the pretty girl with the Kelly green eyes Wore it the day that I asked her to be mine
Slammed it down when we lost the game
It hid my face when the good lord came
For my old man, yeah, he's who bought it Every foul ball, yeah, he's who caught it Had a bird's eye view of my life
I wear it every day, yeah, I don't think twice
No matter the weather it's a fact I'll be wearing that ball cap

SOLO

Chorus

I lent it to the pretty girl with the Kelly green eyes Wore it the day that I asked her to be mine Slammed it down when we lost the game
It hid my face when the good lord came
For my old man, yeah, he's who bought it Every foul ball, yeah, he's who caught it Had a bird's eye view of my life
I wear it every day, yeah, I don't think twice
Bit that brim on third and long
Tossed it in the sky as the band marched on
It'd done a whole lot more than hide some bad haircuts It'll be a part of me when I turn to dust
No matter the weather it's a fact I'll be wearing that ball cap
