Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin' with june bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
Chorus:
In my tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my tennessee mountain home
Crickets sing in the fields near by
Honeys**le vine clings to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
Repeat chorus
Walkin' home from church on a sunday with the one ya' love
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
Repeat chorus
