Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[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 nearby
[Verse 2]
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 fencepost sings a melody
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
Walking home from church on Sunday with the one ya 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
[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 nearby
