High Cotton - Alabama

A red sun came rolling down a grey sky And the frogs and dogs and night birds then Started up singing sweet country lullaby You see that patch of city lights Somewhere in there's Cotton Avenue That's where I'm going to take myself tonight With a spit shine on my dancing shoes If you got a place like that to go You just have to go there If you got no place special Well then, you just go no place special I guess it's just the summer in the young blood Ripe and juicy in the young blood Teasing to go down to Cotton Avenue To hear the shiny shiny music See all the shiny people dancing to it Anytime you go to Cotton Avenue If you got a place like that to go You know you got to go there If you got no place special Well then you just go no place special You see that summer storm brewing in the southern sky By the time it hits here I'll be dancing high and dry To rhythm and blues on Cotton Avenue Poor boys'll be hanging around outside in the street They got all the latest words They're dancing to the latest beat While they're hustling and sizing you On Cotton Avenue If you got a place like that to go You just have to go there If you've got no place special Well my dear You just go no place special

I feel so high school Every time I look at you I want to find you in a crowd Just to hide from you And in the blink of a crinkling eye I'm sinking, our fingers entwined Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me I'll drink what you think and I'm high from smoking your jokes all damn night The brink of a wrinkle in time Bittersweet sixteen suddenly I'm watching American Pie With you on a Saturday night Your friends are around, so be quiet I'm trying to stifle my sighs, Cause I feel so high school Every time I look at you But look at you Are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me? It's just a game, but really I'm betting on all three For us two Get my car door, isn't that sweet Then pull me to the backseat No one's ever had me Not like you ... Truth, dare, spin bottles You know how to ball I know Aristotle Brand new, full throttle Touch me while your bros play grand theft auto It's true, swear, Scout's honor You knew what you wanted And, boy, you got her Brand new, full throttle You already know, babe I feel like laughing In the middle of practice Do that impression you did of your dad again I'm hearing voices, like a madman And in the blink of a crinkling eye I'm sinking, our fingers entwined Cheeks pink in the twinkling lights Tell me 'bout the first time you saw me I'll drink what you think and I'm high from smoking your jokes all damn night The brink of a wrinkle in time Bittersweet sixteen suddenly I'm watching American Pie With you on a Saturday night Your friends are around, so be quiet I'm trying to stifle my sighs, Cause I feel so high school Every time I look at you But look at you Truth, dare, spin bottles You know how to ball I know Aristotle Brand new, full throttle Touch me while your bros play Grand Theft Auto It's true, swear, Scout's honor You knew what you wanted And, boy, you got her Brand new, full throttle You already know, babe You already know, babe

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
