If the world had a front porch - Tracy Lawrence[00:00:01]
It was where my Mama sat on that old swing with her crochet[00:00:12]
It was where Granddaddy taught me how to cuss and how to pray[00:00:18]
It was where we made our own ice cream those sultry summer nights[00:00:24]
Where the bulldog had her puppies and us brothers had our fights[00:00:30]
There were many nights I'd sit right there and look out at the stars[00:00:36]
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill or the hum of a passing car[00:00:42]
It was where I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss[00:00:48]
And it was where I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift[00:00:53]
(Chorus)[00:00:59]
If the world had a front porch like we did back then[00:00:59]
We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends[00:01:06]
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin[00:01:11]
Wouldn't be gone with the wind[00:01:18]
If the world had a front porch like we did back then[00:01:22]
Purple hulls and pintos I've shelled more than my share[00:01:34]
As lightening bugs and crickets danced in the evening air[00:01:39]
And like a beacon that old yellow bulb it always led me home[00:01:45]
Somehow Mama always knew just when to leave it on[00:01:52]
If the world had a front porch like we did back then[00:01:56]
We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends[00:02:03]
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin[00:02:09]
Wouldn't be gone with the wind[00:02:15]
If the world had a front porch like we did back then[00:02:21]
Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin[00:02:28]
Wouldn't be gone with the wind[00:02:34]
If the world had a front porch like we did back then[00:02:41]
