Hometown News - If I Could lyrics

We're walking in the tall gra** The dew is on our jeans The summer sun is rising And the mockingbird sings When I close my eyes I'm there And it does my heart good But it seems so far away From where I am today I'd be there if I could I read it rained last week in Springfield I bet the corn is shoulder high I see it dancing on the west wind Beneath the big Missouri sky I can see the yellow ribbon You tied around that cottonwood And I see the gravel road That will lead me home I'd be there if I could I might be home for Christmas We'll have to wait and see But if I can not make it back Please say a prayer for me Tell grandma that I love her Those cookies sure were good And believe me when I say If there was another way I'd be there if I could Yeah I dream about the day I won't ever have to say I'd be there if I could
