lyrics

They say simple beginnings don’t forebode
So treat this one like the beginning of the end
A phone call in the morning, an offer without warning
And off you go on down the road

Semi stages and county fairs
Twelve long miles away from a good idea
Still those bar band rules and Music City blues
Keep on echoin’ in my ears

(And) I didn't think too much at the time
‘Cause nobody told me that I should
But those years long ago were worth everything I know
Down in Cottonwood

Rivers jump their banks every day
To change the landscape of twentysomething lust
They could tell us all the dreams we had were foolish
But they couldn’t take our foolish dreams away

(And) I didn't think too much at the time
‘Cause nobody told me that I should
But those years long ago were worth everything I know
Down in Cottonwood

Maybe we picked the right time to die
Or maybe we just never knew the way the story ends
Faultless and too critical don’t go too well with dying love
You’ve gotta know just when and how to bend

(And) I didn't think too much at the time
‘Cause nobody told me that I should
But those years long ago were worth everything I know
Down in Cottonwood
