If the World Had a Front Porch Tracy Lawrence
[C] [F] [C] [F]
VERSE 1
It was [C]where my mama sat on that old [G]swing with her crochet,
It was [Am]where granddaddy [F]taught me how to [C]cuss and how to [G]pray,
It was [Am]where we made our [Em]own ice cream those [F]sultry summer night[C]s,
Where the [Dm]bulldog had her pup[Em]pies, and us [F]brothers had our fight[G]s,
VERSE 2
There were [C]many nights I'd sit right [G]there and look out at the stars,
To the [Am]sound of a [F]distant whippoorwil[C]l, or the hum of a [G]passin' car,
It was [Am]where I first got [Em]up the nerve to [F]steal me my first kis[C]s,
and it was [Dm]where I learned to [Em]play guitar and [F]pray I had the gif[G]t,
CHORUS
If the world [C]had a front [F]porch like [G]we did back th[Am]en,
[F]We'd still have our problems, [C]but we'd all be [G]friends,
[Am]Treatin' your neighbor like he's [F]your next of [C]kin
[F]wouldn't be gone, [C]with the [Am]wind,
if the world [F]had a front [C]porch
like [G]did back [C]then[F] [C] [F]
VERSE 3
Purple hull[C]s and pintos, I've shelle[G]d more than my share,
lightning [Am]bugs and cr[F]ickets, Danced [C]in the evening ai[G]r,
and like [Am]a beacon that ole'[Em] yellow moon it a[F]lways lead me home, [C]
some how [Dm]mama always [Em]knew, just [F]when to leave it o[G]n,
CHORUS
If the world [C]had a front [F]porch like [G]we did back th[Am]en,
[F]We'd still have our problems, [C]but we'd all be [G]friends,
[Am]Treatin' your neighbor like he's [F]your next of [C]kin
[F]wouldn't be gone, [C]with the [Am]wind,
if the world [F]had a front [C]porch
like [G]did back [C]then[F] [C] [F]
[Am]Treatin' your neighbor like he's [F]your next of [C]kin
[F]wouldn't be gone, [C]with the [Am]wind,
if the world [F]had a front [C]porch
like [G]did back [C]then [F] [C] [F]
