Lyrics:

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
