Eric Bibb Panama Hat song lyrics

Breaking in a brand new Panama hat

Bought in Havana just like that

Best hat Yankee dollars can buy

Working on the brim ‘cause I like it real flat

Talking ‘bout a brand new Panama Hat

Gonna take some time

But I'm a patient guy

Walking on the beach with my private shade

Sippin' an ice-cold lemonade

Taking in the sea, the sun and sky

Working on the brim ‘cause I like it real flat

Talking ‘bout a brand new Panama Hat

Gonna take some time

But I'm a patient guy

Miami's good but Havana's better

That's what I wrote my gal in a letter

Wish you were here, we'd drink the whole town dry

While she's back home with the kids and the flat

I'm out here breaking in a Panama Hat

Gonna take some time

But I'm a patient guy

The got a special kinda rum that lights you up

Someone's always there, to fill your cup

Ain't like regular liquor and I can't say why

I said I'm sitting in the same place Hemmingway sat

Breaking in my brand new brand new Panama Hat

Gonna take some time

But I'm a patient guy

Breaking in a brand new Panama hat

Bought in Havana just like that

Best hat Yankee dollars can buy

Working on the brim ‘cause I like it real flat

Talking ‘bout a brand new Panama Hat

Gonna take some time

But I'm a patient guy
