(Spoken) Well there's always been groups of people that could never see eye to eye... an' I always thought if they'd get the chance to sit down and talk face to face they might realize they got a lot in common..... [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/chris_ledoux/this_cowboys_hat.html ]
Well I was sittin' in a coffee shop, just havin' a cup to pass the time.
Swappin' rodeo stories with this ole cowboy friend of mine.
When some motor-cycle riders started snickerin' in the back
Started pokin' fun at my friend's hat.
One ole boy said hey Tex, where'd you park your horse.
My friend just pulled his hat down low, but they couldn't be ingnored.
One husky fellow said, I think I'll rip that hat right off your head.
That's when my friend turned around, and this is what he said.....
You'll ride a black tornado, cross't the western sky
Rope an ole blue norther and milk it till it's dry
Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin it's ears down flat...
Long before you take this cowboy's hat....
Now partner, this ole hat is better left alone,
She used to be my daddy's, but last year he passed on.
My nephew skinned the Rattler that makes up this ole hatband,
But back in 69 he died in Viet_Nam
Now the eagle feather was given to me by an indian friend of mine
But someone ran him down somewheres round that Arizona line
And a real special lady gave me this hat pin
But I don't know if I'll ever see her again.
You'll ride a black tornado, cross't the western sky
Rope an ole blue norther and Milk it till it's dry
Bull dawg the Mississippi pin it's ears down flat...
Long before you take this cowboy's hat
Now if your leather jacket means to you what this hat means to me
Then I guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be.
But if you still think it's funny, man, you got my back up against the wall.
And if you touch my hat, your gonna have to fight us all...
Well, right then I caught a little sadness in that gang leaders eyes,
And he turned back t'wards the others and they all just sorta shuffled on outside
But when my friend turned back t'wards me, I noticed his old hat brim
Well it was turned up.. in a big ole texas grin
You'll ride a black tornado cross't the western skies
Rope an ole blue norther, milk it till it's dry
Bull dawg the Mississippi, pin it's ears down flat
Long before you take this cowboy's hat.
This is my favorite song ever!! Love chris ledoux!!!

Means the biker and the cowboy are the same.. For the cowboy the hat is his symbol and for the biker its the jacket. That's why he explains it in the beginning

People dont lilke to talk to other people and get to know them. Like he says if you actually talk to them you might relize you got somthing in common with them. These days people always stareotype peole alot. Its like people look at the worst part in a person when they dont talk to them. This might be confusing to understand but yiou have to read this a couple of time to get it. :)

This song is about this cowboy who meets a "big bad biker" and he starts making fun of him and he should leave his hat alone.

Dont touch my hat fool or i kill you and it will take you a while to even try

Means you shouldn't discriminate people you don't understand just because your different.
He even says to the biker
"now if your leather jacket means to you, what this hat means to me then i guess we understand each other, and we'll just let it be"
