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 bluegra** 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
