That's Why God Made A Front Porch

A young boy needs a palce to sit and wait

Cause she aint ever ready for the date.

That girl's daddy needs a quiet spot

To tell that boy the What's and What-Not's.

Some day soon he's gonna bring her home

To sit on the swing with that light bulb on

He'll reach in the pocket of those old blue jeans

Pull out a ring, get down on one knee

That's why God made a front porch

And put a little creak in the screen door.

Somethin' 'bout the sound of a G-chord

Foot tappin on a loose board.

Full moon dancin' 'hind the willow tree

You can hear that bull frong clear accros the creek.

When that old house gets a little worn,

That's why God made a front porch.

I step over my old dog and head to work

Put in a full day 'till my back hurts.

As fast as this world goes around and 'round

Everybody needs a place to slow down.

And as my tires hit the gravel drive

The summer sun is hangin' on for dear life.

Yes my little angel's in her sun dress

Sittin' cross legged, on the wood steps

That's why God made a front porch

And put a little creak in the screen door.

Somethin' 'bout the sound of a G-chord

Foot tappin on a loose board.

Wind chimes chimin' in the eavning breeze

You can hear that bull frong clear accros the creek.

A peacful rainfall follows a thunderstorm

That's why God made a front porch.

Full moon dancin' 'hind the willow tree

To hear that bull frong clear accros the creek

When that old house gets a little worn,

That's why God made a front porch.

That's why God made a front porch.
