Текст песни If the World Had a Front Porch

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 icecream 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

Chorus

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 you 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 lightning bugs and crickets dance in the evening air

And like a beacon that that old yellow bulb

It always led me home

Somehow mama alway knew just when to leave it on

Repeat Chorus

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
