Green River
Nostalgic Echoes: Green River's Melody of Homecoming and Longing
Lyrics
My father's father's on the front porch rockin'
Reflecting on the past, my paternal grandfather is sitting on the front porch, rocking.
A friend drops by, two old men talkin'
A friend visits, and two elderly men engage in conversation.
Rememberin' so many other summer days
Nostalgically recalling numerous other days from past summers.
Grandma's in the kitchen cookin'
My grandmother is busy cooking in the kitchen.
The hound dog's on the back porch lookin'
A hound dog is on the back porch, observing.
The rooster crows the same time every day
The rooster crows consistently at the same time daily.
Green river, you're still my home
Expressing a sense of belonging to Green River, considering it still as home.
I miss you
Feeling a sense of longing and nostalgia for Green River.
Green river, why did I roam
Questioning why the speaker wandered away from Green River.
I miss you
Expressing the feeling of missing Green River.
Sun sets low on blue grass meadows
Describing the sun setting over blue grass meadows.
Lamps are lit and casting shadows
Lamps are lit, creating shadows as evening falls.
We say goodbye to another perfect day
Bidding farewell to yet another beautiful and flawless day.
Green River, you're still my home
Reiterating the sentiment of Green River being a home.
Green River, why did I roam
Questioning the decision to leave Green River behind.
Green River, someday I'll come home to stay
Expressing the intention to return home to Green River permanently someday.
Green River, you're still my home
Reaffirming the emotional connection to Green River as home.
Green River, why did I roam
Reiterating the contemplation about leaving Green River.
Green River, someday I'll come home to stay
Expressing the desire to return and remain in Green River eventually.
