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

Bringin' lights to the windows all around

Well it's time to rise and shine and start another hard work day

And get the cows in and start the milking chords

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

But I wonder, could I live there anymore

Somethin' '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 super, he's a workin' overtime

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 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
