🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Well I've seen the sunrise
  • See the love in my woman's eyes
  • Feel the touch of a precious child
  • And know a mother's love

Echo the hook

  • And the radio u-up
  • Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine
  • And that's home you know
  • Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine
