My father's father's on the front porch rockin'
A friend drops by; two old men talkin'
Remembering so many other summer days
Grandma's in the kitchen cookin'
Hound-dog's on the back porch lookin'
The rooster crows the same time every day

Green River you're still my home
I miss you
Green River why did I roam?
I miss you

Sun sets slow on bluegrass meadows
Lamps are lit and casting shadows
We say goodbye to another perfect day

Green River you're still my home
Green River why did I roam?
Green River some day I'll come home
To stay

Green River you're still my home
Green River why did I roam?
Green River some day I'll come home
To stay
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
Aaaaaaahhhhhh
