When I was young the family liked to gather round
That kitchen radio we'd wind the long day down
Mama loved to hear Your Cheatin' Heart
I couldn't wait to hear em Rock Around the Clock

I was rocked in a country cradle
Moon shinin' in my eyes
Cricket in the wall sang me a song
I learned to harmonize
I was rocked in a country cradle
Both sides of that track
Raised a little cane
When that Mystery Train
Rattled our little shack
I was rocked in a country cradle

'63 I found the music I could call my own
I played those records in my basement all alone
Dad said that ain't music, not like I Walk the Line
I couldn't hear him I was headed for a Hard Day's Night

I was rocked in a country cradle
Moon shinin' in my eyes
Cricket in the wall sang me a song
I learned to harmonize
I was rocked in a country cradle
Both sides of that track
Raised a little cane
When that Mystery Train
Rattled our little shack
I was rocked in a country cradle

When I go home that kitchen still feels the same
The radio still plays but something has changed
Dad knows all the words to Yesterday
Mama just smiles to hear us all sing Together Again

I was rocked in a country cradle
Moon shinin' in my eyes
Cricket in the wall sang me a song
I learned to harmonize
I was rocked in a country cradle
Both sides of that track
Raised a little cane
When that Mystery Train
Rattled our little shack
I was rocked in a country cradle"
