Kid Cotton Lyrics

Johnny
Lay your sickle down
Cut this shit out
Lay your sickle down
You're my only boy
That wouldn't break a fly
I don't choose her
It came undone that night
I know you're mad
You feel betrayed, confused
Take your mama's side
You're the one thing
I can't stand to lose

Blue-eyed boy
Your hair so blonde it's white
Come out of the darkness
And come into the light
Your face is like a chain
You bring to lead me home
Time and time again
You're the only one
Pretty boy

The road is alone and empty enough without you lying in it
My boy
The road is already but sad enough without you dying in it

Johnny
I'm so glad to shine
Wipe away your tears
Let your bottle shine Your overalls aren't much against the cold
Not much anger
Can your pockets hold
Pretty boy

The road is sad and hot enough without you lying in it
Yeah, boy
The road is alone and empty enough without you dying in it

My boy reminds me
Of all discrepancies
Between how it is
And how it's supposed to be
Here I am, Lord
So take another one
Cotton's perfect
But he's the only one
My boy reminds me
Of all discrepancies
Between who I am
And who I'm supposed to be
Blue-eyed boy
Hair so blonde it's white
Let your eyes shine
Come back into the light
I need to get Cotton back
If we get Cotton back
We'll get Cotton back
Please, boy
