"High Cotton" is a song written by Scott Anders and Roger Murrah, and recorded by American country music group Alabama.
[1] The song is a reminiscence of the youth of the narrator, who explains how his younger days were so good, and how he didn't realize how the times would change.
The whole fourth stanza of the song references this "When Sunday mornings rolled around / We dressed up in hand-me-downs / Just in time, to gather with the church / Sometimes I think how long it's been / And how it impressed me then / It was the only day my daddy wouldn't work."
The music video, directed by Jack Cole, consists of fairly modern (upon release of the song) footage of a farm.
The early 1950s Cadillac convertible that is seen throughout the video is being driven by the band members, who seem to be observing with admiration the things they are viewing that relate to the context of the song.
