Where Cotton Is King

[Verse 1] Coffee black before the sun A whole lot of work that's gotta get down Put 'em in the ground and hope the hill don't come Right now, it don't look like much Just lonely rows and mounds of dust But sleeping underneath is a seed of boom or bust [Chorus] So I tend the fields, I dig the ditch I'm a sand fightin' son of a bitch Serving out my sentence on the plains Where cotton is king [Verse 2] Mother Nature, she's the queen She'll grant your wish, haunt your dreams Brought the boll weevil, stripped us clean Bank put a lean on the family land But I ain't scared of a company man I'm taking it back, I'm making my stand [Chorus] So I tend the fields, I dig the ditch I'm a sand fightin' son of a bitch All I've got to lose is everything Where cotton is king Where cotton is king [Bridge] Back section breaking down Diesel leaking on the ground Heavy lies and heavy wears the crown [Chorus] I tend the fields, I dig the ditch I'm a sand fightin' son of a bitch Whole generation's praying for the rain Where cotton is king Where cotton is king Where cotton is king Where cotton is king
