If The World Had A Front Porch (LP版) - Tracy Lawrence (崔西·罗伦斯)[00:00:00]
It was where my Mama sat on[00:00:12]
That old swing with her crochet[00:00:15]
It was where Granddaddy taught me[00:00:18]
How to cuss and how to pray[00:00:20]
It was where we made our own[00:00:24]
Ice cream those sultry summer nights[00:00:26]
Where the bulldog had her puppies [00:00:29]
And us brothers had our fights[00:00:32]
There were many nights I'd sit right[00:00:36]
There and look out at the stars[00:00:38]
To the sound of a distant whippoorwill[00:00:41]
Or the hum of a passing car[00:00:44]
It was where I first got up[00:00:47]
The nerve to steal me my first kiss[00:00:50]
And it was where I learned to play guitar[00:00:53]
And pray I had the gift[00:00:56]
If the world had a front porch[00:00:59]
Like we did back then[00:01:02]
We'd still have our problems[00:01:05]
But we'd all be friends[00:01:08]
Treating your neighbor like[00:01:11]
He's your next of kin[00:01:14]
Wouldn't be gone with the wind[00:01:17]
If the world had a front porch [00:01:22]
Like we did back then[00:01:26]
Purple hulls and pintos[00:01:34]
I've shelled more than my share[00:01:36]
As lightening bugs and crickets danced[00:01:39]
In the evening air[00:01:42]
And like a beacon that old yellow bulb [00:01:45]
It always led me home[00:01:48]
Somehow Mama always knew[00:01:51]
Just when to leave it on[00:01:53]
If the world had a front porch like[00:01:56]
We did back then[00:02:00]
We'd still have our problems but[00:02:02]
We'd all be friends[00:02:05]
Treating your neighbor like[00:02:08]
He's your next of kin[00:02:11]
Wouldn't be gone with the wind[00:02:15]
If the world had a front porch [00:02:20]
Like we did back then[00:02:23]
Treating your neighbor like[00:02:29]
He's your next of kin[00:02:30]
Wouldn't be gone with the wind[00:02:34]
If the world had a front porch [00:02:39]
Like we did back then[00:02:42]
