Lyrics
Tell me how high , cotton has to grow
Tell me how high , cotton has to grow
'Fore you get a man with a rusty blade and a hoe
Tell me who's that on , when I can get no ride
Tell me who's that on , when I can get no ride
That's why I get antsy , and steal a kiss before I die
I've been knocked down , stood up , all in the name of goodbye's
I've been locked down , beat up , all in the name of goodbye's Mmmmmm
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die
Tell me how long , supposed to keep a good man down
Tell me how long , supposed to keep a good man down
'Fore he packs his suitcase , and get's the hell outta town
Now that I'm gone , who's gonna work the land
Now that I'm gone , who's gonna work the land
Just to make sure this , Dirt don't turn into sand
I've been knocked down , stood up , all in the name of goodbye's
I've been locked down , beat up , all in the name of goodbye's Mmmmmm
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die hey yeah
I've been knocked down , stood up , all in the name of goodbye's Mmmmmm
I've been locked down , beat up , all in the name of goodbye's
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die
And I don't mind stealing the last kiss before I die
Mmmmmmm Mmmmm Mmmm
Mmm Mmm Mm Mmmmm Mmmm
