Verse 1

We were killing time on an old back road.

Passed a cotton field with the radio low.

You were askin bout forever. But I just stared out the window.

I shoulda noticed you were gettin frustrated.

All I did was change the conversation

Assumed that you’d be waitin. But you were fadin.

Chorus

Cause Girl you’re like a cotton field. One day you’re there the next you’re gone.

A beauty in white. A breeze in the night. And now you’re movin on.

You left town before the cotton hit the ground, am I too late now? G D

Am I too late now?

Verse 2

Days went by without a peep from you, not a text not a call not a screw you dude.

I guess I really messed up this time.

Let you slip through these hands of mine.

I kept thinking you just needed space

Didn’t know space could turn into gone

I thought silence meant you were cooling off

Didn’t know it meant moving on.

Bridge

Your friends told me where to find you. So I burned up the roads that night. Showed up with grandmamas ring and said girl this ain’t no goodbye. Not tonight.

Final Chorus

Cause Girl you’re like a cotton field. One day you’re there the next you’re gone.

A beauty in white. A breeze in the night. And now you’re movin on.

You left town before the cotton hit the ground, but you’re comin home now.

Yeah you’re comin home now.

Cause girl you’re like a cotton field.
