[Chorus] I never picked cotton But my mother did And my brother did And my sister did And my daddy died young Workin' in the coal mine
When I was just a baby Too little for a cotton sack I played in the dirt
While the others worked 'Til they couldn't straighten up their backs I
made myself a promise When I was big enough to run That I'd never stay a
single day In that Oklahoma sun
[Chorus] Folks said I grew up early And that the farm couldn't
hold me then so I stole ten bucks and a pickup truck And I never went
back again Then it was fast cars and whiskey Long haired girls and fun I
had everything that money could bring And I took it all with a gun
[Chorus] It was Saturday night in Memphis When a redneck grabbed
my shirt When he said go back to your cotton sack I left him dying in
the dirt They'll take me in the morning To the gallos just outside And
in the time I got There ain't a hell of alot That I can look back on
with pride
[Chorus]
