CHORUS I never picked cotton Like my mother did and my brother did and my sister did And my daddy died young workin' in a coal mine When I was just a baby, too little for the cotton sack I played in the dirt while the others worked Till they couldn't straighten up their backs And I made myself a promise when I was old enough to run That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun, but REPEAT CHORUS Folks said that I grew up early and the farm couldn't hold me then So I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck and I never went back again And it was fast cars and whiskey, long-legged girls and fun I had everything that money could bring and I took it all with a gun, but REPEAT CHORUS It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt He said go back to your cotton sack, I left him lyin' in the dirt And they'll take me in the morning to gallows just outside And in the time I got there ain't a heck of a lot I can look back on with pride, But REPEAT CHORUS |
