I set down my coffee cup and slowly start to gettin' up
But she stands between me and the door
Yes it's been a lot of fun that something tells me I must run
And what my big feet growing to the floor

I see a tear there in her eye and I had hoped she wouldn't cry
Thinkin' of the things that might have been
But something down inside of me always keeps me running free
I've gotta hang my hat upon the wind

I've gotta hang my hat upon the wind
There's a lotta places I haven't been
There's always something new to find
That someone dear to leave behind
I've gotta hang my hat upon the wind

[ guitar ]
One quick kiss and ten I'm gone I've been standing here too long
She shakes her head and watches silently
I slip away into the night I may be wrong I may be right
But these are some thing that have to be

I've gotta hang my hat upon the wind...
