A young boy needs a place to sit and wait
|
Cause she ain’t ever ready for the date
|
That girl’s daddy needs a quiet spot
|
To tell that boy the what’s and what nots
|
Someday soon he’s gonna bring her home
|
They’ll sit on the swing with that light bulb on
|
He’ll reach in the pocket of his ole blue jeans
|
Pull out a ring, get down on one knee
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That’s why god made a front porch
|
Put a little creak in the screen door
|
Something ‘bout the sound of a g-chord
|
Foot tappin’ on a loose board
|
Moon dancin’ behind the willow tree
|
You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek
|
That ole house gets a little warm
|
That’s why god made a front porch
|
|
I step over my ole dog and head to work
|
Put in a full day till my back hurts
|
As fast as this world goes ‘round and ‘round
|
Everybody needs a place to slow down
|
As my tires hit the gravel drive
|
The summer sun’s hangin’ on for dear life
|
There’s my little angel in her sun dress
|
Sittin’ cross-legged on the wood steps
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That’s why god made a front porch
|
Put a little creak in the screen door
|
Something ‘bout the sound of a g-chord
|
Foot tappin’ on a loose board
|
Wind chimes jangle in the evening breeze
|
You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek
|
A peaceful rain follows a thunderstorm
|
That’s why god made a front porch
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Full moon dancin’ behind the willow tree
|
You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek
|
Yeah, that ole house gets a little warm
|
That’s why god made a front porch
|
That’s why god made a front porch
|
