Wonder Could I Live There Anymore

Have you ever been awakened by the crowing of a rooster
While the night dew is still heavy on the ground?
And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morning silence
Bringing light to the windows all around

It's time to rise and shine, start another hard work day
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 about 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 time

She's a-fixing Dad his supper, he's working 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 'em like before
It's nice to think about it, maybe even visit
But I wonder could I live there anymore
