Back to the Front Porch (feat. The Crabb Family) |
I remember mama swinging that screen door open bringing a cold glass of sweet |
tea for daddy’s hand |
A hard day’s work and family restin', me and him and brother gettin' hungry for |
what’s cookin' in mama’s pan |
After supper out there pickin' singin' hymns into the night. |
that’s the kind of |
simple livin' I’ve been chasin' all my life |
There ain’t nothin' any better than love, faith and family together in this |
world of crazy weather — it’s the safest place to ride out any storm — |
Got to get back to the front porch |
I remember lookin' back seein' daddy wave as I was leavin', that «lord, |
help him» tear in mama’s eyes. |
I went from climbin' trees to climbin' ladders, |
tryin' to shine, tryin' to matter, only left me less than satisfied. |
Now I don’t have a front porch like my mom and daddy did and I’m finding it’s a |
way of life no matter where you live. |
(Repeat chorus) x2 |
Got to get back to the front porch |
I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna smile |
Gonna rest for a little while |
Gotta get back to the front porch |
Got to get back to the front porch |
I’m gonna sing, I’m gonna smile |
Gonna rest for a little while |
Gotta get back to the front porch |
Not gonna worry anymore |
Have a talk with my lord |
Got to get back to the front porch |
Hold my wife and show my kids |
This is the only way to live |
Got to get back to the front porch |
Back to the front porch |
