The hometown sound is going through a phase

Getting a gig is a follicular maze

But here’s a little trick that will help you with that

Get a YouTube channel and wear a beard and a hat


DeKalb and Garst, Kruger and Stine

Seed company hats are the finest kind

Then it’s about your coif, wear it scraggly and long

And try to reference it in one of your songs


CHORUS

It all sounds better with a beard and a hat

Monday night is better with a beard and a hat

Like a true troubadour walking over the land

A man and his Martin and a beard and a hat


BRIDGE

A man with a beard and a hat

A man with a beard and a hat

It all sounds better with a beard and a hat

It all sounds better with a beard and a hat


I’ve got the best three chords that you’ve ever heard

And three full verses of the greatest words

But there’s something even better that I’ve put in my act

I play it all for you wearing a beard and a hat

CHORUS

OUTRO
