Oh my back is achin’, and the sun is mighty hot
I think about what could be, instead of what I got
If I can just stay strong, this trip won’t be too long
From this broken field of dreams
I’m leavin’ here tomorrow
Gonna hop a freight train to Chicago
With my cotton field of dreams

Lord, forget that boss man, now he don’t mean no harm
He came up in different times, somewhere across this ugly old farm
I’m bailin’ on this field, thing’s aren’t always as they seem
Leavin’ here tomorrow with my cotton field of dreams

I’m gonna hop a freight train, this isn’t what it seems
I’m gonna head out to Chicago with my cotton field of dreams

Now some left on the wheel, Some left on the heel
That old road couldn’t be that long’
Gonna take my old guitar, and follow that north star
That dark road will only make me stronger
I got a lot of hope, people
Things aren’t always as they seem
I’m headed to Chicago with my cotton field of dreams

I got a cotton field of dreams, I refuse to yield
My music’s gonna take me far away from this field
Next stop is Maxwell Street, I’ll be a little lighter on my feet
I’m goin’ to Chicago with my cotton field of dreams
I’m gonna hop a freight train, Before this field turns me mean
I’m leavin’ here tomorrow people, with my cotton field of dreams
