WATCH THE SUNRISE SMELL THE PANCAKES
GIVIN' ROBERT REDFORD HANDSHAKES
NEVER THOUGHT THAT THEY'D BE GREEN WITH M&M'S
JUST LIKE CHARLOTTE LOVIN' WILBUR
WHEN WE NEEDED YOU DELIVERED
THERE WERE PANCAKES ON THE STOVE AT 6 AM
JOHN WAS 12 CAMP WAS 7
JACK WAS 9 I WAS 11
WE WERE PLAYIN' IN THE BACK YARD
'TIL THE CRAWDADS WENT TO SLEEP
DADDY'S LAB COAT WAS A WHITE CAPE
HIS HUGS COULD MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE
AND MAMA ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL WAS THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME
SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS STILL A BOY IN TENNESSEE
EASTER SUNDAY DANDY'S DYIN'
HOLD MY BREATH AND NOW I'M CRYIN'
'CUS THAT DOG SURE AIN'T RISIN' FROM THE GROUND
GRASS IS GROWIN' GET THE TRACTOR
FEELS LIKE THINGS ARE MOVIN' FASTER
PLAYIN' BASEBALL ON A HOMEMADE PITCHIN' MOUND
JOHN WAS 12 CAMP WAS 7
JACK WAS 9 I WAS 11
WE WERE PLAYIN' IN THE BACK YARD
'TIL THE CRAWDADS WENT TO SLEEP
DADDY'S LAB COAT WAS A WHITE CAPE
HIS HUGS COULD MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE
AND MAMA ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL WAS THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME
SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS STILL A BOY IN TENNESSEE
WE'LL BUILD A FORT TO BRAVE THE SUMMER
FIND SOME STICKS TO HIDE IT UNDER
BOY I THANK GOD FOR MY MAMA AND MY DAD
JOHN WAS 12 CAMP WAS 7
JACK WAS 9 I WAS 11
WE WERE PLAYIN' IN THE BACK YARD
'TIL THE CRAWDADS WENT TO SLEEP
DADDY'S LAB COAT WAS A WHITE CAPE
HIS HUGS COULD MAKE THE EARTH SHAKE
AND MAMA ALWAYS BEAUTIFUL WAS THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME
SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS STILL A BOY IN TENNESSEE
