My Tennessee mountain home
Sittin'on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straight-back chair on two legs leaned against the wall Watch the kids a-playin' with june bugs on the string And catch the glowin'firelies when evening shadows fall In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets singing in the fields nearby Honeysuckle vines cling to the fences along the lane Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet And on a distant hilltop an eagle spreads its wings And a songbird on a fence post sings a melody * Refrain Walkin'home from charch on sunday with the one you love Just laughin,'talkin' makin'future plans And when the folks ain't lookin' you might steal a kiss or two Just sittin'in the porchswing holdin' hands * Refrain
