The Band - High Cotton lyrics

Pacheco-Danko-Helm

The sun feels great
I can tell today it's gonna shine
My lady's smiling both of us
Getting on just fine
Bills are paid, the Caddy's new
Looks like the bad times they're all through
I'm in high cotton
I've forgotten that I had the blues

There's a hundred lucky ladybugs
Landing everywhere I see
I won a million dollars for
A dollar in the lottery
My best friend CW is due
He beat every charge that the police threw
I'm in high cotton
I've forgotten that I had the blues
I'm in high cotton, yes, I'm in high cotton
Soft and white as the clouds


I'm in high cotton, popcorn's popping
There ain't no stoping me now

The summer wind is heavenly
The honeysuckle's everywhere
I'm gonna pick my Gibson mandolin
On the back porch chair
Worst Stan got the news
His wife took a lover and his money too
I'm in high cotton and forgot I got the blues

I'm in high cotton, yes, I'm in high cotton
Soft and white as the clouds
I'm in high cotton, popcorn's popping
There ain't no stopin me now

I'm drinking Coca Cola in a
Bottle that's frosty green
CW turned up with an
Authentic Fifties coke machine
The old crowd is coming this afternoon for
A good time rock and roll barbecue
I'm high cotton
I've forgotton that I had the blues

I'm in high cotton, yes, I'm in high cotton
Soft and white as the clouds
I'm in high cotton, popcorn's popping
There ain't no stopin me now

I'm in high cotton, yes, I'm in high cotton
Soft and white as the clouds
I'm in high cotton, popcorn's popping
There ain't no stopin me now
