(Verse 1) Fields gone dry, mama's hands calloused raw, Daddy's taillights faded in the rearview fog. I chase that high on a half-empty tank, Whiskey whispers, but it don't fill the bank. (Chorus) I'm a cotton ghost in a neon haze, Boll weevil heart, burnin' through the maze. Love like lightning, strikes and it's gone, Runnin' from the dust 'til the break of dawn. Yeah, I'm a cotton ghost, hauntin' these roads. (Verse 2) She left lipstick on a bottle by the door, Promised forever, but forever don't score. Now my amp's hummin', crowd's screamin' my name, But the empty in my chest still feels the same. (Chorus) I'm a cotton ghost... (fade with trap drop: heavy 808s under pedal steel) (Bridge) One more mile, one more lie I tell, Prayin' for rain in this personal hell. (Outro) Cotton ghost, yeah, I'm never comin' home...
