It's been one of those things, you know the scene
I was the fastest the company dream
Daddy always told me there'd be somebody faster
A sharper wit, a bigger bastard

I'm wondering if I should wear my bastard hat or mellow out and be a nice kind of chap (x2)

As I said before I'm a gunslinger
Smile on my face I'm a Diddley deadringer
I don't expect the easy life but having said that
I don't want to be a rock 'n' roll rat pack

I'm just a simple guy but not simpleton
Like to go out and have me some fun
Maybe I'll wear my bastard hat on weekends only
Maybe I'll end up all bitter and lonely

I'm wondering if I should wear my bastard hat or mellow out and be a nice kind of chap (x2)

Accordion solo

Play that squeezebox

I'm wondering if I should wear my bastard hat or mellow out and be a nice kind of chap (X2)
