Many Hats

I wore flour on my hands

Then grease under my nails

One room, then the next

I kept learning different scales

I fixed the broken truck

I patched the fence at dawn

I held the line when it shook

I kept the old house on

One day, then another

I changed with the weather

Same heart, different cover

I held it together

Many hats of my life

(hey, many hats)

Many hats of my life

(still standing, still standing)

Chef, mechanic, soldier

Sheriff, artist, writer

Son, husband, veteran

Many hats of my life

I drew my name in ink

On bills and kitchen walls

I learned to read a room

And answer every call

I kissed my wife goodbye

I built a home that held

I saluted what I lost

And still i carried on

One day, then another

I changed with the weather

Same heart, different cover

I held it together

Many hats of my life

(hey, many hats)

Many hats of my life

(still standing, still standing)

Chef, mechanic, soldier

Sheriff, artist, writer

Son, husband, veteran

Many hats of my life

When the night got heavy

And the mirrors talked back

I found out my name

Was the sum of the tracks

Every scar, every page

Every table I set

Every oath, every frame

I am all of that

Many hats of my life

(hey, many hats)

Many hats of my life

(still standing, still standing)

Chef, mechanic, soldier

Sheriff, artist, writer

Son, husband, veteran

Many hats of my life
