Cowgirl Wanna Be Hat

My book of life contains a cowgirl page
When pointy-toed boots were still in style
And Nudie country jackets were the rage
I'd pick a special hat out of the pile
You'd see me coming for a country mile!

There was a certain one that I recall
I'd wear it when I'd go out line dancing
Chocolate colored suede and inches tall
I would put it on and start my prancing
Gave me confidence to be romancing!

On the dance floor doing a dipsy dive
Flirting with the cowboys,having fun
That hat seemed to make me come alive
Calling everybody "shug" and "hun"
That cowgirl hat was sure a special one!
