0:12It was where my mama sat on
0:14That old swing with her crochet
0:17It was where grand daddy taught me
0:20How to cuss and how to pray
0:23It was where we made our own ice cream
0:26Those sultry summer nights
0:29Where the bulldog had her puppies
0:32And us brothers had our fights
0:35There were many nights
0:37I'd sit right there and look out at the stars
0:41To the sound of a distant whippoor will
0:44Or the hum of a passing car
0:47And it was where
0:48I first got up the nerve to steal me my first kiss
0:53And it was where
0:54I learned to play guitar and pray I had the gift
0:58If the world had a front porch like we did back then
1:05We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
1:11Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
1:17Wouldn't be gone with the wind
1:22If the world had a front porch like we did back then
1:33Purple hulls and pintos I've shelled more than my share
1:38As lightening bugs and crickets danced in the evening air
1:44And like a beacon that old yellow bulb
1:47It always led me home
1:50Some how mama always knew
1:53Just when to leave it on
1:55If the world had a front porch like we did back then
2:02We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
2:08Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
2:14Wouldn't be gone with the wind
2:19And if the world had a front porch
2:22Like we did back then
2:27Treating your neighbor like he's your next of kin
2:33Wouldn't be gone with the wind
2:38If the world had a front porch like we did back then
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
