High Cotton

	Written：Roger Murrah/Scott Anders
	We didn't know the times were lean
	Round our home the grass was green
	It didn't seem like things were all that bad
	I bet we walked a thousand miles
	Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows
	And learnin' how to give it all we had.
	As life went on and years went by
	I saw the light in daddy's eyes
	And felt - the love in mama's hands
	They kept us warm and kept us fed
	Taught us how to look ahead
	Now lookin' back, I think I understand.
	Chorus:
	We Were Walkin' in High Cotton
	Old times there are not forgotten
	Those fertile fields are never far away
	We Were Walkin' in High Cotton
	Old times there are not forgotten
	Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced.
	When Sunday morning rolled around
	We dressed up in hand-me downs
	Just in time, together with the church
	Sometimes I think how long it's been
	And how it impressed me then
	It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work.
	Chorus X2
	We Were Walkin' In High Cotton.
