Wonder Could I Live There Anymore

(Bill Rice)



Have you ever been awaken by the crowing of a rooster

While the night is still heavy on the ground

And the voice of Uncle Ben seems to break the morning silence

Bringing lights to windows all around.



Well, it's time to rise and shine and 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 'bout 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 a working over time

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?...
