Tall Cotton

I'm strippin' cotton in that mid-October heat
You're workin' at the co-op to help make ends meet
The kids gather eggs after school every day
And even though we still have more bills than we can pay

We're in tall cotton/We're rich beyond our dreams
We never even notice when we're short on store bought things
And every night we thank the Lord `cause we always have enough
We're in tall cotton/We got love

After a supper of beans and homemade bread
We read the kids a story and tuck `em in their beds
There's always a fence to mend around this farm
But we know when we're lyin' in each other's arms

We're in tall cotton/We're rich beyond our dreams
We never even notice when we're short on store bought things
And every night we thank the Lord `cause we always have enough
We're in tall cotton/We got love

We're in tall cotton/We're rich beyond our dreams
We never even notice when we're short on store bought things
And every night we thank the Lord `cause we always have enough
We're in tall cotton/We got love
