Dead Man's Hat

There was a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow in the garage,
There was a Stetson hat in the closet,
Everything was for sale,
The man had been successful
That’s for sure,
But he crossed the line once too often
Driving headlong into oncoming oblivion,

But that reality only happened
After the fact,
His old hoopty car
Turned into a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow,
His backwards turned Royals baseball cap
Into a brand new Stetson,
It all happened at the point of impact,
When a man reached up on the closet shelf
To try on
The dead man’s hat.
