Jaime Leopold I Threw My Hat Up to the Stars lyrics

I was busted down, not doing good, looking for an ark to ride out the flood
I went on down to the Spinnin' Wheel, lookin' to buy me somethin' to believe in
I had a drink, I met this girl, she gave me something to believe in

We waltzed clear across Texas, all the way up to Tulsa town
I threw my hat up to the stars and it never did come down
I threw my hat up to the stars and it never did come down

She danced so nice
She danced so nice into my life

I rough necked rigs, she worked five and dime gigs
We were young with somethin' to believe in
We drank our fill but never so much to lose that somethin' to believe in

We saved most of our money, we worked every inch of that Tulsa town

I threw my hat up to the stars and it never came down
I threw my hat up to the stars and it never came down

She danced so nice
She danced so nice into my life

We bought a ranch, it wasn't much, just enough to believe in
We raised our kids on wild prairie dust, now they've all gone to leavin'
We're gettin' old, as old as sin but we still got that something to believe in

And I never looked back, back across Texas, to when my life was upside down
I threw my hat up to the stars and it never did come down
I threw my hat up to the stars and it never did come down
