When I was just a little boy, down on the farm I'd sneak a peek at the Sears catalogue, out behind the barn Wishbook dreaming, hoping and scheming Thinking about that picture show It always takes me back, to where the rooster crows Then one day there was fuzz on my face. I knew just what to do I bought an old truck got dressed up, hit me a dance or two I was looking for women, my head was a spinning Searchin' high and low I stayed up all night, I heard the rooster crow Now you take it easy honey And I'll take it slow We'll sneak out back by the chicken shack We'l' make love while the rooster crows My daddy sat me down one day, just as! was fixin' to leave He said, "Son I know it's too late to tell you about the birds and the bees Just remember your good times in the country, Your mama's butter beans on the stove You'll be alright as long as you can remember where the rooster crows"
