Old Porch Swing

Mama used to love to reminisce She'd sat out on the porch on lights like this She'd tell me about her favorite things in life Like honeysuckle, rain, and fireflies Out on that old porch swing I learned everything How to laugh and how to love And who I am and who's up above Everything in between Out on that old porch swing Sixteen, summertime, and Friday night My daddy's guitar, couple Cokes, and all the guys The hours passed like cars through midnight air The first tunes that I ever played were there Out on that old porch swing I played everything Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Some old Garth Brooks, a little Hank Everything in between Out on that old porch swing And my mind would just go rockin' back and forth To the memories I made on my front porch The first time that I looked into her eyes She was close enough to press her lips to mine We were swingin' through the night, hand in hand It's where the best chapter in my life began Out on that old porch swing I had everything My first love and my first kiss What I'd wanted and what I'd missed Everything in between Out on that old And I love that old And I miss that old porch swing
