Have you ever been awakend by the crowing of a rooster?
While the night's dew is still heavy on the ground
And the voice of Uncle Ben sseems to break the morning silence
Bringing lights to windows all aroundWell it's time to rise and shine and start another hard work day
And get the cows in and start the milking chores
It's nice to think about it baybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymoreSomething bout the smell of cornbread, cooking 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 timeShe's a fixing dad his supper, he's a working over time
Tryin' 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 anymoreAs 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
