We didn't know that times were lean
'Round our house the grass was green
It didn't seem like things were all that bad

I bet we walked a thousand miles
Chopin' cotton and pushin' plows
And learnin' how to give it all we had

As life went on and years went by
I saw the light in daddy's eyes
And felt the love in mama's hands

They kept us warm and kept us fed
Taught us how to look ahead
Now lookin' back, I understand

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced

When Sunday mornings rolled around
We dressed up in hand-me downs
Just in time, together with the church

And how it impressed me then
It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Those fertile fields are never far away

We were walkin' in high cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced
Walkin' in high cotton

Alabama High Cotton Recording details & track overview

[HIGH COTTON]{1} 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 admir.....MORE.....(all High Cotton track/recording details) ←

Alabama biography

Biography by Stephen Thomas Erlewine (AMG)

Before Alabama, bands were used mostly in supporting roles in country music. As recordings became available, nearly every popular recording artist was a vocalist, not a group.

A sleek, country-rock sound made the group the most popular country group in history, selling more records than any other artist of the '80s and earning stacks of awards.

First cousins Randy Owen (born December 14, 1949; lead vocal, rhythm guitar) and Teddy Gentry (born J.....MORE.....(full Alabama biography) ←
