lyrics

The price of cotton's just hanging around, one or two cents shy of 40 cents a pound. I lay awake at night just listening for the sound, of a knock at the door - the bank wants this ground.

I pop off at the mouth when I'm feeling stuck, Lord has a plan but I blame my luck. Now I'm outside this bar face down in the muck. Drank my last dollar, Lord take this cup. Hmm hmm Lord take this cup.

The price of cotton's just hanging around, one or two cents shy of 40 cents a pound. I lay awake at night just listening for the sound, of a knock at the door - the bank wants this ground.

The map on my hands tells no lies, calloused and scarred and sloughed off hide. Remnants of pain in between the lines. But I gotta keep going, no time to cry, Lord there ain't even time to die.

The price of cotton's just hanging around, one or two cents shy of 40 cents a pound. I lay awake at night just listening for the sound, of a knock at the door - the bank wants this ground.

I can make a hand daddy told me so. But he's in the ground pushing up sorghum and oats. Now the well's pumping sand and my spirits are low, and doubts the only thing 'round here that grows.

Well the price of living's going up in this town, it's hell on earth, no need to go down. I lay awake at night just listening for the sound, of a knock at the door the bank wants this ground.
