I'm gonna leave them dry fields behind
And my lady sure looking pretty
And she already made up her mind
And her daddy frowns upon me as his feet
Walk the ground down beside that mule
I guess his blind eyes, won't ever see
That I might be young, but
And will the sky still look the same
Above those city streets and lights
Above these rivers and these pines
We're breathing through the air
We're keeping inside our mind
Well, I told my lady we'll
Yeah, the one that leaves this town
We'll ride as far as it will go
We'll find a little place to settle down
An d I'll take that money
In the grass down by the creek
Yeah, I'll take that money
In the grass down by the creek
And will the sky still look the same?
Above those city streets and lights
Above these rivers and these pines
Breathing through the air
When cotton fields are past their time
We're growing tall and we
They'll be there and I'll
Above those cities, streets, and lines
Above these rivers and these pines
Breathing through the air
