Lyrics
Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a-playing with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowing fireflies when evening shadows fall
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
And a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
Walking home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughing, talking, making future plans
And when the folks ain't looking, you might steal a kiss or two
Sitting in the porch swing, holding handsDemo Videos
