I guess if Drama Llama and Stapleton had a pitiful child, and then named it 'Cockleburs' ??? - HA! -
Wow! This may be my favorite one of yours. If I could sing, this is the voice I would want… LOL! Really great song!

Absolutely love the vibe!
I have a couple questions. Is it best to have negative thorny cocklebur miles and then the cling to me like one…hmmm…and why will the love waters go down …even if it’s idiom or metaphor, I’m not sure it’s clear

Super, glad you like it DeeDee!
Yeah, the thorny cockleburs are absolutely a negative to positive pain (LOL-No pun intended 
) It’s the woman’s “floodin’ love’, that makes those cocklebur thorns tolerable and worth every single mile he walks as he makes his way back to her. As long as the love birds are together, (the flood waters high if you will) then all is good. But once those “loving flood waters” go back down, all the cocklebur weeds are back and things are again drying-out. -Maybe even their love if left that way too long. (???) So yeah, I meant for the “negative” pain here to be a good thing, as long as he’s continually back with her love. - Great question, and thanks a bunch DeeDee for listening!

Miles of Delta poor’n rich-soil acres,
‘tween your family’s house ‘n mine.
A rust-colored air secret hid in cotton,
our humid love floatin’-up so sky high.
Me, the slick side of a muddy river bank.
You Girl, my pretty Mississippi gone buck wild.
But when we get together, and roll ’n flow wherever sure makes thorny cocklebur miles,
seem so painless now!
So let your floodin’ love, break this man’s levy on down.
Meet me at water’s edge Girl, let’s spill over onto higher ground.
Cling to me like thorny cockleburs. We can roll in love all through this town.
No pain for us to feel right now. ’Til cockleburs dry-up and love waters go down.
Don’t let me drown now!

There’s no pain for us to feel right now.
‘Til cockleburs dry-up, and our love waters go down.
