Here's one of my favorites, David Wilcox.


Top of My Head

by David Wilcox

The top of my head shines through my haircut
Even when I brush shape and style
The top of my head smiles at the young man
Telling my I must have been alive a while

The top of my head shows up in pictures
Don’t it make me look so strange
I guess I only see my used to be
And everybody’s seen me change

On the top of my head, I’ve got a suntan
My top’s down for the sunny day
It’s so strange to be a grown man
Wonder how I got that way

I can’t believe all that time I’ve wasted
Worryin’ ‘bout the hair I lack
Sometimes I catch myself leaned in the mirror
Wonderin’ if it’s growing back

On the top of my head, Top of my head

Never mind telling me all about distinguished company
Sure, it looks great on them but that’s a few great men who made a difference in history

See it only looks right on a great man
With a lifetime of great things done
Time has gotten tight, it’s gotten late, man
Like to think that I’ve just begun

There’s no sense ridin’ in a big black Stetson
It’s nothing I can hide away
And they say “every hair on a head is accounted
And so is every single day”

On the top of my head,
The top of my head, yeah,
The top of my head
