Paul D Jones - Hat Lyrics

Once upon a time I thought that life was just a craic
I'd drink and play guitar and I thought that that was that
Now I'm just getting by and it ain't true that life's like that
But I'll just keep my thoughts underneath my hat

And I see life's not for me
'Cos I just get the blues from being me
And I know it's quid pro quo
But I don't wanna play
I'd rather hide away if that's okay

Once upon a time they believed the world was flat
We'd fall off of the edge, they thought that that was that
But I'm just getting by and I don't buy any of that
And I'll just keep my thoughts underneath my hat

Next time around I'll remember
That it ain't all heart and flowers
The path's not always ours
Next time around I'll remember
If I see you on the day I'll walk the other way

Once upon a time I thought I'd saunter down the track
I'd never be de-railed, I thought that that was that
But now I'm getting old and you're getting on my back
But I'll just keep my thoughts underneath my hat
