kate campbell - visions of plenty lyrics
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
