From Cotton to Satin Lyrics

Gene Watson
Intro: F-Bb-C
Chorus:
She had to follow her dream
I saved up enough, to buy her, one small diamond
That's the year that old tractor, broke down
And the dream house I promised her still lies by a shade tree
Some old bricks and boards all around
She begged me to take her, to see New York City
So I mortgaged the farm and we were gone
But while we were there she took up with a rich man
C F (Walk up & Change Keys C-D)
I came back, to the country alone
Now there is the garden, where she touched every flower
There's the meadow where we walked hand in hand
If only she'd waited, she'd have more than she dreamed of
C F (Walk up & Change Keys D-E)
For today they struck oil on my land
Repeat Chorus:
She had to follow her dream
Tagg:
She went from cotton to satin
