The day’s winding down and the work’s all done
and I’m headed home with the settin sun
there’s only one more thing left on my mind
Well the news today wasn’t so good
it wasn’t that bad, but I think I would
like to go somewhere and leave it all behind
You see the winter’s over and it sure was hard
the weather’s turnin and in my little back yard
everything’s bustin out so green and fine
Signs of spring are everywhere
think I’ll grab my guitar and a kitchen chair
it’s porch settin time
‘Course there’s lots things still left to do
the grass needs cuttin and the bills are due
but they’re gonna have to wait at least another day
‘Cause there’s a warm breeze blown in from the south
the drinks are cold and there ain’t no doubt
I’ll be right here on the porch passin the time away
Well I ain’t never been to the south of France
and I never dressed up for no ballroom dance
I never sipped a glass of sparkling wine
I like the gold of the sun in the afternoon
when the shadows grow long and then pretty soon
it’s porch settin time
Well the world’s gone mad I guess it’s true
I wish there was something someone would do
before the whole darn thing winds up goin to pot
Power and money and greed and war
I don’t need any of it anymore
I just want to be thankful for what it is I got
So come on over we’ll be here
set right down pull up a chair
tomorrow you know the sun is gonna shine
Supper’s on so be ready to eat
go on ahead put up your feet
it’s porch settin time
