High Cotton
Reocorded by Alabama
Written by Scott Anders & Roger Murrah

G+G
We didn't know the times were lean
C majorC
Around our home the grass was green
  G+G                           D7D7
It didn't seem like things were all that bad
  G+G
I bet we walked a thousand miles
C majorC
Chopping cotton and pushing plows
    G+G            D7D7        G+G
And learning how to give it all we had

As life went on and years went by
C majorC
I saw the light in daddy's eyes
G+G                      D7D7
And felt the love in mama's hands
G+G
They kept us warm and kept us fed
C majorC
Taught us how to look ahead
     G+G           D7D7       G+G
Now looking back I think I understand


We Were Walking in High Cotton
         C majorC
Old times there are not forgotten
      G+G                   D7D7
Those fertile fields are never far away
                 G+G
We were walking in high cotton
         C majorC
Old times there are not forgotten
       G+G                 D7D7         G+G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced


When Sunday morning rolled around
C majorC
We dressed up in hand-me downs
    G+G                   D7D7
Just in time together with the church
G+G
Sometimes I think how long it's been
C majorC
And how it impressed me then
   G+G               D7D7           G+G
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work


We Were Walking in High Cotton
         C majorC
Old times there are not forgotten
      G+G                   D7D7
Those fertile fields are never far away
                 G+G
We were walking in high cotton
         C majorC
Old times there are not forgotten
       G+G                 D7D7         G+G
Leaving home was the hardest thing we ever faced
