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
