Lyrics

[Intro] It was the time of the cottonwood trees The time of the cottonwood trees [Verse 1] I met her at the Pale Horse Saloon Yes I did, yes I did Her pretty hair was brown, her eyes were too Yes they were, yes they were [Chorus] It was the time of the cottonwood trees I don't know if it was all a dream She drove a blue pickup truck Boy, she loved it though it really wasn't much Kinda like the way she loved mе In the time of the cottonwood trees Thе time of the cottonwood trees [Verse 2] She followed me up the Rio Grande Yes she did, yes she did She said she liked the way I crossed the land That's a fact, that's a fact [Chorus] It was the time of the cottonwood trees You could smell that sage on the breeze I drove her blue pickup truck Boy, she loved it though it really wasn't much Kinda like the way she loved me In the time of the cottonwood trees The time of the cottonwood trees [Outro] It was the time of the cottonwood trees It's hard to figure what life really means I can still see that blue pickup truck Boy, she loved it though it really wasn't much Kinda like the way she loved me In the time of the cottonwood trees The time of the cottonwood trees The time of the cottonwood trees
