My Tennessee Mountain Home

Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon In a straight back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall Watch the kids a playing with June bugs on a string And chase the glowing fireflies when evening shadows fall In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields nearby Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence 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 In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the field nearby Walking home from church on a Sunday with the one you love Just laughing, talking, making future plans And when the folks ain't looking, you might steal a kiss or two Sitting in the porch swing, holding hands In my Tennessee mountain home Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh In my Tennessee mountain home Crickets sing in the fields nearby Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm
