Have you ever been awakened by the crowing of a rooster While the nightâÂÂs dew is still heavy on the ground And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morningâÂÂs silence Bringing lights to windows all around Well itâÂÂs time to rise and shine and start another hard workday And get the cows in and start the milking chores ItâÂÂs nice to think about it, maybe even visit But I wonder could I live there anymore
Something âÂÂbout the smell of cornbread cookinâ 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 canâÂÂt stop to talk, ainâÂÂt got the time SheâÂÂs aâÂÂfixinâ daddyâÂÂs supper, heâÂÂs aâÂÂworkinâ overtime Trying to pay our bill at the grocery store ItâÂÂs 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 donâÂÂt really miss them like before ItâÂÂs nice to think about it, maybe even visit But I wonder could I live there anymore
