I live south of Memphis in downtown Hollywood
And these fields are all I've ever known
Season after season I have worked to find a way
To buy a piece of land to call my own
Sometimes when that Delta sun comes beating down
Well I swear those rows of cotton shine like gold
Visions of plenty
Roll across my mind
Still my hands are empty
And the system's going dry
I keep thinking bout my children
What's left down here for them
Just a cotton field of dreams
And everybody's dreaming everybody's dreaming
Dreaming just like me
A sign went up for Harrah's on highway 61
Promising we'd all be winners soon
So every Friday evening I go and spin the wheel
Sometimes I win most times I lose
These lights are so much brighter than I thought they'd be
And they make me think
I'll see my dreams come true
Visions of plenty
Roll across my mind
Still my hands are empty
And the system's going dry
I keep thinking bout my children
What's left down here for them
Just a cotton field of dreams
And everybody's dreaming everybody's dreaming
Dreaming just like me
I keep thinking bout my children
What's left down here for them
Just a cotton field of dreams
And everybody's dreaming everybody's dreaming
Dreaming just like me
