Cotton - Nanci Griffith

If I came back to the land of cotton

Would you love just me

Old loves lost are never forgotten

That's the way it's supposed to be

Are you short or are you long

Are you easy to see

Are you weak or are you strong

Makes no never to me

All the ballerina sees

When her world's on fire

Is where she puts her feet

And if she burns her toes

She'll just jump higher

Never skip a beat

I've been good most of the time

Since you last saw me

You come across my mind from time to time

Now look at me

I'm standing at your door

With my heart in your hands

Ain't you gonna ask me in

If you say "no " I'll understand dear

And never come south again

If I came back to the land of cotton

Would you love just me

Old loves lost are never forgotten

That's the way it's supposed to be
