Have you ever been awaken, by the crowing of a rooster
                                             G7
While the night's dew is still heavy on the ground
 
And the voice of Uncle Ben, seems to break the morning silence
                                 C
Bringing lights to windows all around

Well it's time to rise and shine and start another hard work day
                                        F
Get the cows in and start the milking chores
                    G7       C              Am 
It's nice to think about it,    maybe even visit 
        F             G7            C
But I wonder could I live there anymore

Something bout the smell of cornbread, cooking on a wood stove
                                G7
Seems to bring a picture to my mind
 
Of a little three room house, with mama in the kitchen
                                          C
But she can't stop to talk ain't got the time
 
C
She's a fixing daddy's  supper, he's a working over time
                                       F
Trying to pay our bill at the grocery store
                    G7      C             Am
It's nice to think about it,  maybe even visit 
        F             G7            C
But I wonder could I live there anymore
  
C      
As I think about my childhood and of my old hometown
                                F
I don't really miss them like before
                    G7       C             Am
It's nice to think about it,   maybe even visit 
        F             G7            C
