When i think of my childhood days Growing up in the small town USA The fondest of my many memories Is that a front porch rocking chair And all of us children gathered there Waiting our turn to climb up on mama's knee With her imagination, around the world she'd take us With the stories of the places she knew we'd never see In mamas rockin' chair she could a take us anywhere To a tropical island or a snow covered mountain or a desert caravan We sailed the ocean and climbed the Eiffel tower We went a million miles an hour We traveled everywhere in mamas a rocking chair I've got a wife and some kids of my own Every saturday morning they sit at a home Gathered around, their eyes glued to the screen Around the world they go in living color and stereo But they may never get to know the thrill imagination brings In mamas rockin' chair she could a take us anywhere To a tropical island or a snow covered mountain or a desert caravan We sailed the ocean and climbed the Eiffel tower We went a million miles an hour We traveled everywhere in mamas a rocking chair In mamas rocking chair she could a take us anywhere To a tropical island or a snow covered mountain or a desert caravan We sailed the ocean and climbed the Eiffel tower We went a million miles an hour
