J. J. Cale - Brown Dirt lyrics

rate me

Brown dirtstickin' to my fingers

Brown dirtclingin' to my feet

Brown dirtmississippi bottom land

Pickin' that cotton for the man down the street

Brown dirtraisin' his vegetables

Brown dirtgrowin' his grass

Brown dirtwalkin' down the pathway

Pickin' that cotton now I hope it is my last

Brown dirtsomebody told mebe the last place you lay

Brown dirtcover my body

I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day

Brown dirt wetyou're sinkin'

Brown dirt dryyou dust

Brown dirtI've been thinkin'

We'll all come to you and we won't be the first

Brown dirtsomebody told mebe the last place you lay

Cover my body

I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day

If a stick movesit's a snake

If a water is stillit's a lake

If you harm yourselfyou know it hurts

Final destinationbrown dirt
