If the World Had a Front Porch Tracy Lawrence
If the World Had a Front Porch Tracy Lawrence
[cb]C[/cb] [cb]F[/cb] [cb]C[/cb] [cb]F[/cb]
It was([cb]C[/cb])where my mama sat on that old([cb]G[/cb])swing
with her crochet([cb]Am[/cb]), It was([cb]F[/cb])where grandaddy
taught([cb]C[/cb])me how to cuss and how to pray([cb]G[/cb]),
It was([cb]Am[/cb])where we made our own([cb]Em[/cb])ice cream
those([cb]F[/cb])sultry summer nights([cb]C[/cb]),
where the([cb]Dm[/cb])bulldog had her pup([cb]Em[/cb])pies,
and us([cb]F[/cb])brothers had our fights([cb]G[/cb]),
There were many nights I'd sit right there and look
out at the stars, to the sound of a distant wippoorwhill,
or the hum of a passin' 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,
CHORUS:
If the world([cb]C[/cb])had a front([cb]F[/cb])porch like([cb]G[/cb])we did back then([cb]Am[/cb]),
([cb]F[/cb])We'd still have our prob([cb]C[/cb])lems, ([cb]G[/cb])but we'd all be friends,
([cb]Am[/cb])Treatin' your neighbor like he's([cb]F[/cb])your next of kin([cb]C[/cb])
([cb]F[/cb])wouldn't be gone([cb]C[/cb]), with the wind([cb]Am[/cb]),
if the world([cb]F[/cb])had a front([cb]C[/cb])porch
like([cb]G[/cb])did back([cb]C[/cb])then. ([cb]F[/cb]) ([cb]C[/cb]) ([cb]F[/cb])
Purple hulls and pintos, I've shelled more than my share,
lighting bugs and crickets, Danced in the evening air,
and like a beacon that ole' yellow moon it always lead
me home, some how mama always knew,
just when to leave it on,
repeat chorus:
Treatin 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.
