Hat Town Lyrics

Here's the song that helped Lee Kernaghan win 6 golden guitars at the
'99 Tamworth Country Music Awards here in Oz. Keep 'em coming, Lee!

I was born in a hat town, raised on the Warrego
It's hard out here but you tough it out like an old brigalow
The roads are straight & dusty and the folks are much the same
CHORUS:
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
Well it might be Thargomindah, it might be Barclay Downs
If there's a pub and a store and not much more
You're livin' in an old hat town.
Stuck out in a heat haze on a half mile sixty zone
Just a rag-tag bunch of buildings made of wood and tin and stone
But there's a swag of stories and most of them are true
Of how the locals passed the hat around and pulled each other through
REPEAT CHORUS
SOLO: G G G G
Well we're rouseabouts and drovers
We're bushies tried and true
And we're out here for the long haul
We're not just blowin' through
CHORUS:
Roots run strong and deep out here in a hat town
And we'll carry on down through the years in a hat town
If there's a pub and a store and not much more
You're livin' in an old hat town.
Ooooh
Yodeleyeeeeeeee
Livin' in a hat town, livin' in an old hat town
Yodeleyeeeeeeee
Livin' in a hat town, livin' in an old hat town
