[Verse 1] Lorene, why don't you chase your dream?
Yeah, wipe the sleep right out of your eyes
That full moon is bound to show up soon
Don't let the moon be the ruin of your mind

[Chorus] Cotton in the field, it ain't goin' nowhere
That property line is stubborn as your name
Corn in the kettle, it will always be there
And you know old town square has always looked the same

[Verse 2] Lorene, why don't you leave tonight?
It'll be alright, I'm sure we'll meet again
When that rainbow leads to a pot of gold, give it all your soul
Now you gotta go my friend

[Chorus] Cotton in the field, it ain't goin' nowhere
That property line is stubborn as your name
Corn in the kettle, it will always be there
You know old town square has always looked the same
Looked the same

[Verse 3] Lorene, your time time has been well spent
If all else fails, your memory's enough
And I won't lie: goodbye is bittersweet
But it means you and me got to love
