Wonder Could I Live There Anymore



Have you ever been awakened by the crowing of a rooster

While the night’s dew is still heavy on the ground

And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morning’s silence

Bringing lights to windows all around

Well it’s time to rise and shine and start another hard workday

And get the cows in and start the milking chores

It’s nice to think about it, maybe even visit

But I wonder could I live there anymore



Something ‘bout the smell of cornbread cookin’ on a wood stove

Seems to bring a picture to my mind

Of a little three room house with mama in the kitchen

But she can’t stop to talk, ain’t got the time

She’s a’fixin’ daddy’s supper, he’s a’workin’ overtime

Trying to pay our bill at the grocery store

It’s nice to think about it, maybe even visit

But I wonder could I live there anymore



As I think about my childhood

And of my old hometown

I don’t really miss them like before

It’s nice to think about it, maybe even visit

But I wonder could I live there anymore
