If the World Had a Front Porch

If the World Had a Front Porch - Tracy Lawrence/Luke Combs

It was where my mama sat on

That old swing with her crochet

It was where grand daddy 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 whippoor will

Or the hum of a passing car

And 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

Some how 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

And 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
