Wonder Could I Live There Anymore
Have you ever been awakened by the crowing of a rooster
While the nightâs dew is still heavy on the ground
And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morningâs silence
Bringing lights to windows all around
Well itâs time to rise and shine and start another hard workday
And get the cows in and start the milking chores
Itâs nice to think about it, maybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymore
Something âbout 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 canât stop to talk, ainât got the time
Sheâs aâfixinâ daddyâs supper, heâs aâworkinâ overtime
Trying to pay our bill at the grocery store
Itâs 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 donât really miss them like before
Itâs nice to think about it, maybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymore
