Wanda Jackson — 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
