Gene Watson From Cotton To Satin Lyrics

From Cotton To Satin Lyrics

From cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a long
limousine
From cotton to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan
She had to
follow her dream

I saved up enough to buy her one small
diamond
That's the year that old tractor broke down
And the dreamhouse I
promised her still lies by a shadetree
Some old bricks and boards all
around

She begged me to take her to see New York city
So I mortaged
the farm and we were gone
But while we were there she took up with a rich
man
I came back to the country alone

Now, there is the garden where
she touched every flower
There's the meadow where we walked hand in
hand
If only she'd waited she'd have more than she dreamed of
For today
they struck oil on my land

She went from cotton to satin, from
Burmingham to Manhattan
From a pickup to a lonely limousine
From cotton
to satin, from Burmingham to Manhattan
She had to follow her dream
She
went from cotton to satin
