Lyrics Back to the Front Porch (feat. The Crabb Family) - Bill & Gloria Gaither, The Crabb Family

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
