God Only Knows

Knockin' on Your Screen Door - John Prine

I ain't got nobody hangin'

'Round my doorstep

Ain't got no loose change just a-hangin'

'Round my jeans

If you see somebody would you send em'

Over my way

I could use some help here with

A can of pork and beans

I once had a family but they up and left me

With nothing but an 8-track another side of George Jones

I was in high cotton just a-bangin' on my six-string

A-kickin' at the trash can walkin' skin and bone

I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now

I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line

I'm thinking it's your business but you don't got to answer

I'm knocking on your screen door in the summertime

Everybody's out there climbin' on the trees now

Swingin' in the breeze now hangin' on the vine

I'm dreamin' 'bout a sailboat I don't need a fur coat

Underneath the dashboard got some sweet potato wine

I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now

I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line

I'm thinking it's your business but you don't got to answer

I'm knocking on your screen door in the summertime

I'm knocking on your screen door in the summertime
