lyrics

Cotton Dress

It was a cotton dress she was wearing
Falling off a shoulder she was barin’ her heart
To a boy on the banks of the Rio Grande
She said I loved you since the second grade
And to tell you the truth I’m tired of waitin’
Around for you, Boy you better make your stand

CHORUS:
Next thing you know he was popping the question
And all it took was a little suggestion
From a pretty girl by the river on a moonlit night
It didn’t matter how young they were
‘Cos she loved him; he loved her
And love’s enough to make everything all right
Some things are meant to be, I guess
And it all started with a cotton dress

They got married at the Church of Christ
Standing on the corner of 12th and rice was fallin’
All around them as they took off in the car
Bought a little house with a big live oak
They were sitting on the porch when her water broke
She said Honey better get me down to the ER

CHORUS:
Next thing you know they were holdin’ a girl
With her momma’s eyes and her daddy’s curls
Singing lullabies in the middle of a moonlit night
It didn’t matter how young they were
‘Cos she loved them; they loved her
And love’s enough to make everything all right
The rest is History, I guess
And it all started with a cotton dress

BRIDGE:
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, the years went flyin’ by and then
Ooh-ooh next thing you know, that old circle is comin’ around again

It was a cotton dress she was wearing Fallin’ off a shoulder she was barin’ her heart
To a boy on the banks of the Rio Grande
She said my parents sat in this same place
And I bet you got the same look on your face
My daddy did when he asked for Momma’s hand

CHORUS:
But let me make a little suggestion
Before you think about poppin’ the question
Be sure about what you’re feelin’ here tonight
Cos’ I’ve seen life from every angle
The twists and turns and snarls and tangles
And I know true love makes everything all right
And I won’t settle for nothin’ less
So if you feel the same, I guess
You can have the girl in the cotton dress
