Black Hat

Some things change, some things don’t
Some folks can’t and some just won’t
Seasons come and seasons go
But I thought you never would

I’ve been brought down to my knees
By forces I could never see
And folks have laid the blame on me
But I thought you never would
So I’ll do this for the greater good

I’ll wear the black hat, you wear the white
You get the glory, I’ll take the spite
Just put a bullet through my heart
Believing that you’re right
I’ll wear the black hat, you just wear the white

I have been misunderstood
I’ve been told my heart’s no good
I’ve been criticized for where I stood
When I thought I never would

One man tries to do what’s right
The other, then, is filled with spite
And now I find myself in a fight
When I thought I never would
So I’ll don this black like I should

I’ll wear the black hat, you wear the white
You get the glory, I’ll take the spite
Just put a bullet through my heart
Believing that you’re right
I’ll wear the black hat, you just wear the white

I’ll wear the black hat, you wear the white
We’ll keep this story hidden, we’ll keep it from the light
Just put this bullet through my heart
And tell folks that you’re right
I’ll wear the black hat, you just wear the white
I’ll wear the black hat, you just wear the white
