Chino Valdez’s Hat
Performed by Whiskey Wind & The Prairie Boys
Verse 1
Dear Santa Claus, it’s me Jimmy Joe, I reckon you remember,
I wrote to you last Christmas, heck, I’ve done it every December.
But this year, don’t bring me boots or spurs, I’ve got all that I need,
What I want this time’s real special, so I’m beggin’ on my knees.
Chorus
Don’t bring me what I already got,
No more saddles, ropes, or worn-out socks,
I just want one thing, and you know it’s true—
A hat creased just like Chino Valdez does.
It’s got that perfect bend, and that cowboy flair,
So, Santa, make it happen, if you’ve got a prayer.
Verse 2
I’ve got a Stetson sittin’ on the shelf, it’s fine, don’t get me wrong,
But when Chino tips his brim, it’s like he’s singing an old song.
That crease, that curve, that cowboy crown, it’s poetry in the wind,
I need a hat just like his, or my cowboy soul won’t mend.
Chorus
Don’t bring me what I already got,
No more wool socks or coffee pots,
I just need that hat, it’s all I ask of you—
A hat creased just like Chino Valdez does.
The way it dips, the way it stands,
Santa, I’m trusting you to understand.
Bridge
I promise I’ve been good this year, haven’t missed a single steer,
Kept my word and worked real hard, with honor and with pride.
But Chino’s hat, oh man, it’s something rare,
It’s got more stories in its brim than you’ll find anywhere.
Chorus
So don’t bring me what I already got,
No more belts, no more fancy knots,
I just want that hat, the one I dream of at night—
A hat creased like Chino Valdez, oh, so right.
With that classic bend and that weathered wear,
Santa, I know you’ve got a hat like that somewhere.
Outro
So here’s my letter, plain and clear, no stockings full of fluff,
If you can bring me Chino’s hat, Santa, that’ll be enough.
I’ll wear it proud, I’ll wear it true,
With every crease, I’ll think of you.
