Brown Dirt Lyrics by J. J. Cale

Brown Dirt Lyrics

    Brown dirt, stickin' to my fingers
    Brown dirt, clingin' to my feet
    Brown dirt, mississippi bottom land
    Pickin' that cotton for the man down the street
    Brown dirt, raisin' his vegetables
    Brown dirt, growin' his grass
    Brown dirt, walkin' down the pathway
    Pickin' that cotton now i hope it is my last
    Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay
    Brown dirt, cover my body
    I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day
    Brown dirt wet, you're sinkin'
    Brown dirt dry, you dust
    Brown dirt, i've been thinkin'
    We'll all come to you and we won't be the first
    Brown dirt, somebody told me, be the last place you lay
    Cover my body
    I'll soon be the cotton that's grown another day
    If a stick moves, it's a snake
    If a water is still, it's a lake
    If you harm yourself, you know it hurts
    Final destination, brown dirt
