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

Ice cream 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 passing car

It 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 gift

If the world had a front porch

Like we did back then

We'd still have our problems

But we'd all be friends

Treating 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

Purple hulls and pintos

I've shelled more than my share

As lightening 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

If the world had a front porch like

We did back then

We'd still have our problems but

We'd all be friends

Treating 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

Treating 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
