_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ This [Eb] old porch is like a big old red and [Cm] white herbarium _
_ _ _ [Ab] Standing under a mesquite tree
_ [Bb] I don't know what I'll say
And he just [Eb] keeps on playing hide and seek
With [Cm] that hot August _ sun
Just [Ab] a sweating and a panting
[Bb] Cause his work is never done
This old [Eb] porch is like a steaming greasy [Cm] plate of enchiladas
_ _ With [Ab] lots of cheese and onions
And [Bb] a guacamole salad
And you can [Eb] get them down at the La Salle Hotel in [Cm] Old Downtown
_ _ With [Ab] iced tea and a waitress
[Bb] And she will smile every time
And this old [Eb] porch is the palace walking
_ [Cm] On the main street of Texas
_ _ _ [Ab] That's never seen the day
[Bb] A G and R in excess with [Eb] that 62 poster
_ _ [Cm] It's almost faded down
_ [Ab] And a screen without a picture
_ _ [Bb] Since Giant came to town
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ And this [Eb] old porch is like a _ weathered gray-haired 70 [Cm]-year-old Texas
_ _ [Ab] That's doing all he can
[Bb] Not to give in to the city
_ And [Eb] he always takes the rent late
[Cm] So long as I run the cabin
_ [Ab] And he picks me up at dinner time
And [Bb] I listen to him rattle
He says [Eb] the grass is still runs muddy
Just [Cm] like she's run all along
_ There [Ab] ain't never been no cane to grind
[Bb] The garden's all but gone
And you know this [Eb] brand new Chevrolet
The hell of [Cm] a song back in 60
_ [Ab] But now there won't nobody listen to it
[Bb] Cause they all think he's crazy
And this old [Eb] porch is just a long time
_ [Cm] Of waiting and forgetting
_ [Ab] And remembering _ the coming back
And [Bb] not crying about believing
_ And [Eb] remembering the falling down
_ [Cm] And the laughter _ of the curse of [Ab] luck
From all of those _ passers-by
[Bb] Who said we'd never get back up
[Eb] _ _
And _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ this old [Eb]
porch is just a long time _
[C] Of waiting and forgetting
_ [Ab] And remembering _ the coming back
And [Bb] not crying about believing
_ And [Eb] remembering the falling down
And the [C] laughter of the curse of luck
[Ab] From all of those sons of bitches
Who [Bb] said we'd never get back up
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
