Lyrics Panama Hat - Eric Bibb

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
