If The World Had A Front Porch

It was where my mama sat on that

Old swing with her crochet

It was where Grand Daddy taught me

How to curse and how to prayIt was where we made our own ice cream

Those sultry summer nights

Where the bulldog had her puppies

And us brothers had our fightsThere 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 passin' carIt 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 giftIf the world had a front porch, like we did back then

We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends

Treatin' 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 thenPurple hulls and pintos

I've shelled more than my share

As lightnin' bugs and crickets

Danced in the evenin' airAnd like a beacon that old yellow bulb

It always led me home

Somehow Mama always knew

Just when to leave it onIf the world had a front porch, like we did back then

We'd still have our problems, but we'd all be friends

Treatin' 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 thenTreating 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
