If the World Had a Front Porch Tracy Lawrence
[C] [C] [F] [F] [C] [C] [F] [F]
It was [C]where my mama sat on that old [G]swing with her cr[Am]ochet,
It was [F]where granddaddy [C]taught me how to [C]cuss and how to pr[G]ay,
It was [Am]where we made our [Em]own ice cream those [F]sultry summer nig[C]hts,
Where the [Dm]bulldog had her pup[Em]pies, and us [F]brothers had our fig[G]hts,
There were [C]many nights I'd sit right there and [G]look out at th[Am]e stars,
To the s[F]ound of a distant w[C]hippoorwill, o[C]r the hum of a passin' c[G]ar,
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 w[C]orld had a f[F]ront porch like [G]we did back [Am]then,
[F]We'd still have our [C]problems, b[G]ut we'd all be[G] friends,
[Am]Treatin' your [Em]neighbor like he's y[F]our next of k[C]in
[F]wouldn't be [C]gone, with the [Am]wind,
if the w[F]orld had a f[C]ront porch
like [G]we did back t[C]hen[C] [F]
Purple hull[C]s and pintos, I've s[G]helled more than my [Am]share,
lightning [F]bugs and c[C]rickets, [C]Danced in the evening a[G]ir,
and like [Am]a beacon that ole'[Em] yellow moon it a[F]lways lead me [C]home,
some how [Dm]mama al[Em]ways knew, just [F]when to leave it[G] on,
CHORUS
If the world [C]had a front [F]porch like [G]we did back th[Am]en,
[F]We'd still have our [C]problems, b[G]ut we'd all be [G]friends,
[Am]Treatin' your [Em]neighbor like he's yo[F]ur next of ki[C]n
[F]wouldn't be [C]gone, with the[Am] wind,
if the [F]world had a [C]front porch
like [G]we did back t[C]hen
[Am]Treatin' you[Em]r neighbor like he's y[F]our next of k[C]in
[F]wouldn't be [C]gone, with the [Am]wind,
if the [F]world had a fr[C]ont porch
like [G]we did back th[C]en
