Don't Touch My Hat Lyle Lovett (CAPO @ III) A E B7 Man you better let go /You can't hold on to What belongs to me / And don't belong to you I caught you looking / With your roving eye So Mister you don't have to act / So surprised CHORUS: If it's her you want / I don't care about that You can have my girl /But don't touch my hat I grew up lonesome / On the open range And that cold North wind / Can make a man feel strange My John B. Stetson / Was my only friend And we've stuck together / Through many a woman So CHORUS My mama told me / Son to be polite Take your hat off / When you walk inside But the winds of change / They fill the air And you can't set your hat down / Just anywhere So if you plead not guilty / I'll be the judge We don't need no jury / To decide because I wear a seven / And you're out of order 'Cause I can tell from here / You're a seven and a quarter But CHORUS 2X No it never complains / And it never cries And it looks so good / And it fits just right But CHORUS You can have my girl / But don't touch my hat You can have my girl / But don't touch my hat
