Randy Newman Lyrics
Big Hat, no Cattle

Since I was a child
I've tried to be what I'm 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 piece
of mind.

Oftimes I 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
