作词 : Beard, Lawrence, Nelson | |
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 | |
(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 your next of kin | |
Wouldn't be gone like 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 | |
(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 |
