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

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

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

chorus

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

chorus
