If The World Had A Front Porch 歌詞
If The World Had A Front Porch - Graham Blvd.
It was where my Mama sat on
That old swing with her crochet
It was where Granddaddy taught me
How to cuss 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 passing 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
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 then
Purple hulls and pintos
I've shelled more than my share
As lightening bugs and crickets danced
In the evening 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
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 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 then
