Alabama - High Cotton Lyrics
High cottonWritten by roger murrah and scott andersWe didnt know that times were leanRound our house the grass was greenIt didnt seem like things were all that badI bet we walked a thousand milesChopin cotton and pushin plowsAnd learnin how to give it all we had.As life went on and years went byI saw the light in daddys eyesAnd felt - the love in mamas handsThey kept us warm and kept us fedTaught us how to look aheadNow lookin back, I understand.Chorus:We were walkin in high cottonOld times there are not forgottenThose fertile fields are never far awayWe were walkin in high cottonOld times there are not forgottenLeavin home was the hardest thing we ever faced.When sunday mornings rolled aroundWe dressed up in hand-me downsJust in time, together with the churchSometimes I think how long its beenAnd how it impressed me thenIt was the only day my daddy wouldnt work.Chorus x2We were walkin in high cotton.
