Old-Fashioned Hat

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Summer went the way of spring

Winter's waiting in the wings

And we haven't saved anything

But that's alright

Cause we already paid the rent

There's still some money we haven't spent

Go put on something different

We're going out tonight

I have loved you for so long

Even when I could only do you wrong

Go see if they have our song

On the jukebox over there

A dollar gets you seven plays

I watch you through a smoky haze

A secret smile on your face

I'm sorry if I stare

But you look like a stranger

In that old-fashioned hat

And I've got a pocketful of change

And I don't wanna go home yet

Clearly I remember when

I used to scratch my poems

On the backs of other lovers in

The darkness of my mind

Back before I made my home

In the marrow of your bones

Now I know your figure like my own

Even from behind

But you look like a stranger

In that old-fashioned hat

And I've got a pocketful of change

And I don't wanna go home yet

Hey and we'll be married soon

We'll be dancing to this very tune

Then we'll have a honeymoon

Then we'll start to fight

Bring the tonic and the gin

Say what was your name again?

Stick another quarter in

And stay with me tonight

You look like a stranger

In that old-fashioned hat

And I've got a pocketful of change

And I don't wanna go home yet
