Lyle Lovett – The Front Porch Song chords
Chords:
Eb CmThis old porch is like a big old red and white Hereford bullAbStanding under a mesquite treeBbOut in Agua DulceEbAnd he just keeps on playing hide and seekCmWith that hot August sunAb Just a-sweatin' and a-pantin'BbCause his work is never doneEb CmAnd this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladasAbWith lots of cheese and onionsBbAnd a guacamole saladEbAnd you can get'em down at the LaSalle HotelCmIn old downtownAbWith iced tea and a waitressBbAnd she will smile every timeEb And this old porch is the Palace walk-inCmOn the main street of TexasAbThat's never seen the dayBbOf G and R and XsEbWith that '62 posterCmThat's almost faded downAbAnd a screen without a pictureBbSince Giant came to townEb And this old porch is like a weathered, gray-hairedCmSeventy years of TexasAbWho's doing all he canBbNot to give in to the cityEbAnd he always takes the rent lateCmSo long as I run his cattleAbAnd he picks me up at dinnertimeBbAnd I listen to him rattleEbHe says the Brazos still runs muddyCmJust like she's run all alongAbAnd there ain't never been no cane to grindBbThe cotton's all but goneEbAnd you know this brand new ChevroletCmHell it was something back in '60AbBut now there won't nobody listen to himBbCause they all think he's crazyEbAnd this old porch is just a long timeCmOf waiting and forgettingAbAnd remembering the coming backBbAnd not crying about the leavingEbAnd remembering the falling downCmAnd the laughter of the curse of luckAbFrom all of those passerbyBbWho said we'd never get back upEbThis old porch is just a long timeCmOf waiting and forgettingAbAnd remembering the coming backBBAnd not crying about the leavingEbAnd remembering the falling downCmAnd the laughter of the curse of luckAbFrom all of those sons-of-b***hesBb EbWho said we'd never get back up
