Lyrics
Front Porch Swing
There's an old hoot owl just a hooin' in the sycamore wood
Singin along to music of the crickets & it sounds real good
I'm sittin next to my girl stealin' kisses & it feels so right
With the pitter & the patter & the chatter of a full moon night
CHORUS
We're just sweet talkin', slow rockin' out on the front porch swing
Feet tappin', knee slappin' we got the world on a string
We put away our troubles & don't worry what tomorrow may bring
When we're sweet talkin', slow rockin' out on the front porch swing
I hear the wheels of a coal train rattle down the railroad track
When her whistle starts a blowin' there's a whippoorwil talkin' back
We got the moon & the stars & the sparkle o' the fireflies
But they can't hold a candle to the twinkle in my baby's eyes
CHORUS
BRIDGE I hear a bull frog thumpin' like a snare drum pumpin'
It's a midnight moonlight jam
There's a stray cat preachin', squeakin & schreechin
Like a fiddle from an old jug band
2/2 CHORUS - INSTR - CHORUS
When we're sweet talkin', slow rockin' out on the front porch swing
When we're sweet talkin', lip lockin' out on the front porch swing
