Lyrics of If i could

We're walking in the tall grass
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
