This old porch Lyle Lovett
[E]This old porch is like a big old red and [CA]Standing under a mesquite tree
[B]Out in Agua Dulce
And he [E]just keeps on playing hide and seek
[CA]Just a-sweatin' and a-pantin'
Cause his [B]work is never done
And this old [E]porch is like a steaming, greasy [CWitb A]lots of cheese and onions
And a [B]guacamole salad
And you can [E]get'em down at the LaSalle Hotel
[CWitb iA]ced tea and a waitress
And she will s[B]mile every time
And this old [E]porch is the Palace walk-in
On the [CA]That's never seen the day
Of [B]G and R and Xs
With that '[E]62 poster
That's [CAnd a A]screen without a picture
Since [B]Giant came to town
And this old [E]porch is like a weathered, gray-haired
[CA]Who's doing all he can
Not to [B]give in to the city
And he [E]always takes the rent late
So [CAnd beA] picks me up at dinnertime
And I l[B]isten to him rattle
He says the B[E]razos still runs muddy
Just like she's [CAnd tbere A]ain't never been no cane to grind
The [B]cotton's all but gone
And you know this [E]brand new Chevrolet
Hell it was [CA]But now there won't nobody listen to him
[B]Cause they all think he's crazy
And this old [E]porch is just a long time
Of [CA]And remembering the coming back
[B]And not crying about the leaving
And [E]remembering the falling down
And the [CA]From all of those passerby
Who [B]said we'd never get back up
This old [E]porch is just a long time
Of [CAnd A]remembering the coming back
And not [CB]crying about the leaving
And r[E]emembering the falling down
And the [CA]From all of those sons-of-bitches
[B]Who said we'd never get back up
