At a Cooley solo show last year, he explained that the man who's telling the story in Cottonseed actually spoke at a church camp that Cooley attended when he was kid. This fellow had not found religion, but wanted some kind of redemption and was very nervous about speaking at a church related event. The girl in the song was actually the man's daughter who was reassuring him that "if they was to tie a noose they'd have to lay their Bibles down." Cooley and Hood have great stories about growing up in north Alabama! Cottonseed is one of the best about the Dirty South.
