(Dolly Parton)
|
Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
|
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
|
Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
|
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
|
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
|
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
|
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
|
|
[Chorus]
|
