i can tell today it's gonna shine
my lady's smiling both of us getting on just fine
looks like the bad times they're all through
i've forgotten that i had the blues. there's a hundred lucky ladybugs landing everywhere i see
i won a million dollars for a dollar in the lottery
my best friend c.w. is due
he beat every charge that the police threw
i've forgotten that i had the blues. i'm in high cotton
soft and white as the clouds
there ain't no stoping me now. the summer wind is heavenly
the honeysuckle's everywhere
i'm gonna pick my gibson mandolin on the back porch chair
his wife took a lover and his money too
i'm in high cotton and forgot i got the blues
soft and white as the clouds
there ain't no stopin me now. i'm drinking coca cola in a bottle that's frosty green
c.w. turned up with an authentic fifties coke machine
the old crowd is coming this afternoon for a good time rock and roll barbecue
i've forgotton that i had the blues. i'm in high cotton
soft and white as the clouds
there ain't no stopin me now. i'm in high cotton
soft and white as the clouds
there ain't no stopin me now.
