Cotton Fire

 
     Dm                                      F 
They pray all day to the good Lord that they make it one more year 
G                                          F                 Dm 
Hands in the dirt, blood on the shirt, too dry to shed their tears 
                               F 
Cotton don't grow that easy in place that sheds no rain 
     G                                  F              Dm 
It's hard enough gettin' by without the governments constraints 
 

 
Dm 
Burn cotton fire 
G           Dm 
Burn module burn 
                                        G 
Them suits are gonna get the light that they've been needin' all their life 
   F     C            Dm 
So burn, burn, cotton fire 
 

 
Dm                        F 
A silhouette, a sunset, a man pushed too far 
G                                  F            Dm 
Stands in the best crop yet, money heavy on the heart 
                                         F 
Supplies are bought at retail, while the man buys wholesale 
G                            F        Dm 
Makes no sense at all, but reality is hell

Dm                             F 
100 years of plowin' while the family roots run deep 
  G                                 F             Dm 
A farmer grows back taller when you cut em at the knees 
                                      F 
We all need the south plains like our lungs need the air 
          G                                 F 
But their runnin' out of water and God damn windmills everywhere
