Cotton County Queen

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My baby come and got me in her mama's Cadillac We went parkin' by the river near the honeydew patch She started talkin' 'bout the birds and the bees My mind ran wild with the possibilities Like Rhett and Scarlett climbin' up the stairs We were on our way to heaven in the melons out there [Chorus] She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream Prettiest thing I ever had seen Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans The upper Mississippi delta cotton county queen [Verse 2] She had a judge for a daddy, he made her toe the line Brother, he was tougher than a year of hard time He came by and caught us rollin' in the weeds Said, "Boy, get goin' if you're ever gonna leave" I took off runnin' out of that place All the while thinkin' 'bout her beautiful face [Chorus] She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream Prettiest thing I ever had seen Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans The upper Mississippi delta cotton county queen [Bridge] Snuck up to the house in the heat of the night Hid in the hedge 'til they turned out the lights Tapped on the window, said, "Darlin', let's go" And we were gone with the wind in her El Dorado [Chorus] She was the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream Prettiest thing I ever had seen Tupelo honey in a pair of blue jeans The upper Mississippi delta cotton county queen [Outro] Yeah, she's the centerfold picture in a country boy's dream The upper Mississippi delta cotton county queen Upper Mississippi delta cotton county queen
