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 (just a billboard full 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
