Testi musica canzoni

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 icecream
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 passin' car
It was where i first got up the nerve
To steal me my first kiss
And it was where i learned how to play guitar
And pray that i had the gift

(Chorus)
If the worl had a front porch like we did back then
We'd still have our problems but we'd all be friends
Treatin' ur 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

Purple hulls and pintos
I've shelled more than my share
As lightning 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

Chorus
