Lyrics:
And the towers of the Empire State are lined with Homestead Steel
The Monongahela valley no longer hears the roar
There is cottonwood and suemacway inside
a man is made to be
Tough as a young tumbleweed
Light as cottonwood root
I want to be that light
I want to be that tough
And if this soul of mine could
One, two, three, four
Mm
Sprayed my name on a water tower
Carved it in an old cottonwood tree
Signed a bunch of high school yearbooks
So they
All the birds in the cottonwood above her
Know I love her
Know I care
But my dreams, like the songs, she sang in Spanish
Seem to vanish
in.
Oh let me be by myself in the evening breeze,
And listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees,
Send me off forever but I ask you please, don't
I hear the cottonwoods whispering above
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in
Sprayed my name on a water tower
Carved it in an old cottonwood tree
Signed a bunch of high school yearbooks
So they wouldn't forget about me
I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
A. Summer
Late in the summer
When the cottonwood dies
The fields are on fire
With green bottleflies
And I`m still seeing reflections
Of me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me out forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
We'll take him up to the cottonwood
Show him a real good time
Up in the canyon far away from the river
Sure that's the mountain line
Well maybe
the cottonwood tree
You don't change that, no
It's meant to be
And that's the soul of a southern girl
Gonna set you free
When we go walking
On a summer's
I hear the cottonwoods whisperin' above
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
The old hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove
Tammy, Tammy, Tammy's in love
the corner of the heart
Back in the Albuquerque
Near the river
There was a cottonwood
One summer hooked up with
A climbing rose
And by the time it
I spend my time in cottonwood looking for a sign
Sitting by myself and I`m running out of time
Listen to the wind talking just to me
Listen now
wanna be by myself in the evenin' breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in
Just
She's as gentle as a July breeze
Slippin' through the cottonwood trees
I was empty as a man could be
Until the day I found her
Times I find it
the risk (we do this shit)
When I slide, I never leave no witness, I ain't no codefendant (I kill this bitch)
Cottonwood baby, but I be posted in
black veil?
Did you see Mr. Crump in a white coat grin?
Did you walk downriver where the cottonwoods are swinging
With ghostly bodies of men?
(Chorus)
little tank top
About two a.m. we go sneaking off
We got a spot beneath a cottonwood tree
And she knows what she's gonna do to me
We do it in a field
to hold on to
most of the things i used to say to you
most of the ways i knew around the local roads
are disappearing daily
high in the cottonwood
you were
I remember when I was a little boy out where cottonwoods grow tall
Tryin' to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls
Baby, all
the race circuit
For months she cried herself to sleep
She'd beg her dad to take them back to their valley
To her mother and the cottonwood trees
Their old
