Sleepy Little Town

[Verse 1]
Well the rats are winnin' the race
Smog so thick, I can't see my hand in front of my face
Daddy always said I'd live to regret
The day I left the old home place
He was right 'cause tonight as I lay down
I'd give anything to wake up in that sleepy little town

[Verse 2]
Well the corn oughta be about chest high
Silver [?] of golden silk beneath that big blue sky
I can almost hear dad's old John Deere
Crankin' up at the crack of mornin' light
I never thought I'd miss that sound like I miss it now
I'd give anything to wake up in that sleepy little town

[Chorus]
Where the wheels turn slow
And chicken's fryin' down at Flo's café
I thought the fiеlds of home were a hard row to hoе
But they're nothin' like the ground I plow today
As I watch another city sun go down
I'd give anything to wake up in that sleepy little town

[Verse 3]
Mama called earlier today to say my brother's [?]
Hit his first home run and won his baseball game
Sis is doin' well, she and Joe have worked things out
And dad spends all his time out on Giffords Lake
Caught a big one there last night, it must've weighed ten pounds
He wants to take you there next time that you come down
Lord, I'd give anything to wake up in that sleepy little town

[Chorus]
Where the wheels turn slow
And chicken's fryin' down at Flo's café
I thought the fields of home were a hard row to hoe
But they're nothin' like the ground I plow today
As I watch another city sun go down
I'd give anything to wake up
Tonight, I'd give anything to wake up
Lord, I'd give anything to wake up in that sleepy little town
