Alabama High Cotton Lyrics Information:
HIGH COTTON1
Written by: Scott Anders & Roger Murrah
Produced by: Larry Michael Lee, Josh Leo & Alabama
Performed by: Alabama 2
First released 3
Single: 1989 (Length: 3:02)
Album: January 31, 1989
1 "High Cotton" was one of four singles on the album, Southern Star to
reach #1 on the Country charts in both the U.S. & Canada. The song is a
reminiscence of the youth of the narrator, who explains how his younger days
were so good, and how he didn't realize how the times would change. It also
references some the morals and customs characteristic of religious farming
families of the day, such as taking Sunday as a strict day of rest, whether
or not there was work that could be done and generally glorifying the simple
lifestyle of hard work. The music video, directed by Jack Cole, consists of
fairly modern (upon release of the song) footage of a farm. The 1950s car
that is seen in the video is being driven by the band members of Alabama,
who seem to be observing with admiration the things they are seeing that
relate to the context of the song.
