Merle Haggard - One Row At A Time lyrics

The southeast Georgia red clay dust is groundin' to my blue jeans A heavy hundred pound cotton sack draggin' along behind Wanting to leave this place so bad, I forget how I got here Workin' my way back home, one row at a time It's a long old cotton road between here and Waco Then, three days a-thumbin' through that California line And two more days of pickin' to that house, just south of Fresno Workin' 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 runnin' out to meet me Workin' my way back home, one row at a time It's a long, old cotton road between here and Waco Then, three days a-thumbin' through that California line, Lord, Lord Two more days of pickin' to that house, just south of Fresno Workin' my way back home, one row at a time Workin' my way back home, one row at a time
