I don’t update my phone. I get nervous when my wife wants to move the furniture. I had an idea to write a song about that concept…that I don’t believe everything needs to be updated to be right, and the title “old hat” came to mind. I was lookin at down at my feet in contemplation, and of course I had my usual footwear on, and that’s when it came to me how to turn the phrase. I took the idea to my co-writers, Ryan Tyndell and Matt Jenkins, and we wrote “I ain’t ready to give old hat the boot.”
