Big Hat, No Cattle - Randy Newman

Lyrics by：Randy Newman

Composed by：Randy Newman

Since I was a child

I've tried to be what I am not

I've lied and I've enjoyed it all my life

I lied to my dear mother

To my sisters and my brother

And now I'm lying to my children and my wife

Big Hat no cattle

Big head no brain

Big snake no rattle

I forever remain

Big hat no cattle

I knew from the start

Big boat no paddle

Big belly no heart

Can't remember why I do it

Oh maybe I can

An honest man these days is hard to find

I only know we're living in an unforgiving land

And a little lie can buy some real big peace of mind

Off times I have wondered what might I have become

Had I but buckled down and really tried

But when it came down to the wire

I called my family to my side

Stood up straight threw my head back and I lied lied lied

Big hat no cattle

Big shoes well you know

Big horse no saddle

He goes wherever I go

Big hat no cattle

Right from the start

Big guns no battle

Big belly no heart

When it came down to the wire

I called my little family to my side

Stood up straight threw my head back and I lied lied lied

Lied lied lied

Big hat no cattle

Big head no brain

Big snake no rattle

I forever remain

Big hat no cattle

I knew from the start

Big boat no paddle

Big belly no heart

Big boat no paddle

Big belly no heart
