inspired by a photo my friend Dianne Poole took of a red hat on a retro microphone
You won't believe what I did today ....My Red Hat
Debbie Annen 2/2022
G C
Touched up my make up, combed my hair
D7 G
Put on my red hat, packed up my gear
G C
Practiced my lyrics, while driving my car
D7 G
imagined the crowd thinks I’m a star
Chorus
C G D7
I need to be heard, Need to be recognized
G G7
not thought absurd
C G
I need to be heard
D7 G
This is my voice, this is my word
G C
I could have been a cook, made amazing food
D7 G
I could have been a seamstress or applied tattoos
G C
I have been a teacher, a wife, a mom
D7 G
that’s only partially who I am
Chorus
G C
So I put on my red hat, walk out the door
D7 G
put my heart into song, hoping to soar
G C
my hat is my armor, my beacon, my shield
D7 G
my words are my sword, I’m eager to wield

What a lovely, sweet song! Wonderful lyrics and, I guess, so relatable to practically anyone on this site... I like the tender melody and your voice is gorgeous... Wonderfully done in all respects!

Very relatable lyric. So many things from our life can be like symbols of strength for us - vessels to tap into the life we most want for ourselves.

Very pretty and well done. Glad to see you back here FAWMing.
@ukufriday Feb 2022
Yes! Validation. You finger-rolled and sang it beautifully.

Lovely sentiment for a hat--reminds me of Gregory Porter and his trademark 'jazz hat', certainly in good company musically :)
