Lyrics

Pretty girl from a Delta town
Made to run the gasoline down
Learned a little 'bout many things
Our sweet potato cotton queen
Looks ahead when the whistles blow
A lady knows when it's time to go
Learned to drive on the graveyard streets
And give a smile to all she meets
Daddy taught her to never look twice
Say, "Thank you, ma'am," and always look nice
Be the best like a football team
Scoring against the rivalry
And keep the insides hammered down
Best performer of the stage in town
Specs surrounded by soybean fields
In the land of red clay wheels
They say she'd tumble over the pews
And go sit with the preacher too
Play flute from the choir loft
Sing alto and soprano parts
And gaze out at the back church wall
Stained glass Jesus standing tall
Holding all of his little lambs
And the whole world in his hands
The boys eyed her through the rearview mirror
Sucking two straws from Strawberry Hill
Coming back from a country bridge
Or throwing rocks from the water's edge
But now she's all packed up in parceled pillars
She's driving a U-Haul across the Mississippi River
Lanterns on the levee and a fistful of cotton
Old times there will not be forgotten
