One Row At A Time

One Row At A Time

(album: Someday We'll Look Back - 1971)

The southeast Georgia red clay dust is grounding to my blue jeans
A heavy hundred pound cotton sack dragging along behind
Wanting to leave this place so bad, I forget how I got here
Working my way back home, one row at a time

It's a long old cotton road between here and Waco
Then, three days a-thumbing through that California line
And two more days of picking to that house, just south of Fresno
Working my way back home, one row at a time

Mississippi delta mud is caked in layers on my brogans
Sunshine on snow white cotton, nearly makes me blind
I can almost see 'em now, a home folk running out to meet me
Working my way back home, one row at a time

It's a long, old cotton road between here and Waco
Then, three days a-thumbing through that California line, Lord, Lord
Two more days of picking to that house, just south of Fresno
Working my way back home, one row at a time
Working my way back home, one row at a time
