RIDIN’ON THE COTTON BELT

I recently went to a big homecoming' celebration
In Cleveland County Arkansas where I was born
Whole family went down and there was a great day for us
I felt like this day was special especially for my mother and my daddy
Though it was daddy's and mama's homecoming'
And I was so proud of 'em ridin' that carriage
Down the Main Street of Rison Arkansas
Sometimes the songs I write sound like talking' about myself
But actually in some of these songs
Especially this one I'm writing' about my daddy

A
Ridin' on the Cotton Belt Cleveland County's where I long to be
              D                                  A
I got onto Brinkley and every mile I make is a memory
       E                                                                 A
This boxcar's cold and windy and the dust goes around in circles in the air
              E                            B7                       E
But my hard times are behind me and I'm returnin' home so I don't care

          A
And I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt railroad line
          E                              A
In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise
          D                  A                   E                  A
Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt boys

A
Ridin' on the Cotton Belt across that little river called Saline
         D                                                     A
That's where I went fishin' and I hunted in her bottoms as a teen
      E                                                            A
Now just ahead's a farmhouse and in the kitchen window there's a light
          E                                  B7                     E
And I've just got fourteen dollars but I'm taking it myself home tonight

          A
And I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt railroad line
          E                              A
In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise
          D                  A                   E                  A
Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt boys

 A
Jumpin' off the Cotton Belt ain't easy when she's going forty per
       D                                                         A
But I see my wife standin' there hoping that I'm coming home to her
         E                                                           A
I got a few new cuts and bruises but this old working hobo's made a home
    E                                          B7               E
So long to your Cotton Belt thank you for the ride keep rolling on

          A
And I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt railroad line
          E                              A
In the pitchin' rolling rhythm and the noise
          D                  A                   E                  A
Railroad men are friends of mine and I'm ridin' on the Cotton Belt boys
