Cottonwood Video (MV)

I left my cigarettes in Vegas
I left my girl not far behind
She said "I bought myself a diamond ring,"
Because, she don't want mine
She's got a shotgun for a smile
She's got ammunition eyes
Either I'm stuck on her, or I'm leaving her behind
My granddad was a bastard
Born in 1921
He said that my heart was an engine
Burning fuel from where I come
He drank his whiskey from bottle
Chewed tobacco from a jar
Either I'm stuck on him, or I'm leaving him behind
Stuck on them like cottonwood in
That summer dress
I pray that ribbon in your hair
Will ease my pain
Stuck on them, or maybe, I'm just
Leaving you behind
That ribbon in your hair will ease my pain
My mother was born Yankee
But her daddy raised her South
He used to beat her and her sisters
Till they threw that f*cker out
He always swore they would forgive him
But no daughter watched him die
Either I'm stuck on them, or I'm leaving them behind
Stuck on them like cottonwood in
That summer dress
I pray that ribbon in your hair
Will ease my pain
Stuck on them, or maybe, I'm just
Leaving you behind
That ribbon in your hair will ease my pain
That ribbon in your hair will ease my pain
That ribbon in your hair will ease my pain
