| Sittin' on the front porch on a Sunday afternoon
|
| Just me and a buddy who I’ve known for a few years
|
| We figured since the weather’s nice
|
| We might as well soak up the sights
|
| Of Nashville with no suits and ties around
|
| Conversation covers everything and in between
|
| From grandpaw’s health to marrying good girls
|
| Oh, we ain’t up to nothing
|
| Just solving all the problems of the world
|
| We joke and laugh at the present and past
|
| How some things do and some don’t last
|
| Like friends you make 'round here sometimes somehow just disappear
|
| Oh, it’s funny to the two of us
|
| The folks back home make such a fuss
|
| About the way we’re livin' day to day
|
| And guitars pickin'
|
| The conversation covers everything and in between
|
| From modern music to «Mama Tried» by Merle
|
| Oh, we ain’t up to nothin'
|
| Just solving all the problems of the world
|
| As they come and go like us wanna-be's on music row
|
| We’re made to just burn out the way a star is made to glow
|
| We light us one last cigarette
|
| Make plans to do what we ain’t done yet
|
| He wants to buy a Jeep, I’d like to make it through next week
|
| If I do and he does too I bet we’ll do it all again
|
| Shoot the bull about what’s new on another Sunday afternoon
|
| Where the conversation covers everything and in between
|
| From life is good to giving it a whirl
|
| Oh, we ain’t up to nothin'
|
| Just solving all the problems of the world |
