It was where my mama sat on that Old swing with her crochet It was where Grand Daddy taught me How to curse and how to pray
It was where we made our own ice cream Those sultry summer nights Where the bulldog had her puppies And us brothers had our fights
There were many nights I'd sit right there And look out at the stars To the sound of a distant whippoorwill Or the hum of a passin' car
It was where I first got up the nerve To steal me my first kiss And it was where I learned to play guitar And pray I had the gift
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin Wouldn't be gone like the wind If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
Purple hulls and pintos I've shelled more than my share As lightnin' bugs and crickets Danced in the evenin' air
And like a beacon that old yellow bulb It always led me home Somehow Mama always knew Just when to leave it on
If the world had a front porch, like we did back then We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends Treatin' your neighbor like he's your next of kin Wouldn't be gone like the wind If the world had a front porch, like we did back then
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin Wouldn't be gone with the wind If the world had a front porch, like we did back thenTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
