Lyrics Cody Johnson – Underneath This Hat

Well I walked into a bar
With my hat pulled way down low
I just hit town and there ain’t nobody I know
The smoke was kinda thick

I said, «Underneath this hat
Well there’s a devil standin’ tall
And an angel on my shoulder
To make me guilty for it all
I said underneath this hat
Well there’s a Texan standin’ proud
And there’s a beggar just lookin’ for a crown»

Well I walked into a church
One Sunday mornin’ late
Tryin’ to figure out what made me go astray
The preacher was preachin’ ’bout
Some brimstone and fire
And where I was goin’
If I didn’t change my way
Just then he called me out
He said, «Son, why don’t you come on down?
Dry those tears and pull off that hat you got pulled down»

I said «Preacher, underneath this hat
Well there’s a devil standin’ tall
And an angel on my shoulder
To make me guilty for it all

And I said «Underneath this hat
Lord there’s a devil standin’ tall
And my mama on my shoulder
Tryin’ to save me from it all
I said underneath this hat
Well there’s a Texan standin’ proud
And there’s a sinner tryin’ to get Heaven bound»
Yeah I said, «There’s a beggar just lookin’ for a crown»
