Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sitting here counting the cars go by
In an hour must've been one or two
The sheets are flappin' on Momma's clothesline
It's an old front porch swing afternoon
[Verse 2]
I can hear music from somewhere inside
The faint sound of a Hank Williams tune
I just caught the smell of a blackberry pie
On this old front porch swing afternoon
[Verse 3]
And, ooh, ooh, feel that breeze blowin'
That magnolia showing her blooms
On this old front porch swing
Afternoon
[Verse 4]
That old dog is laying under Grandpa's old chair
He ain't looking for nothing to do
And that tractor is stirring up dust over there
On this old front porch swing afternoon
[Verse 5]
I can see Grandma now in her old checkered dress
Beating a rug with her broom
The clouds are a-churnin' comin' in font the west
On this old front porch swing afternoon
[Verse 6]
And, ooh, ooh, feel that breeze blowin'
The sun will be going down soon
On an old front porch swing
Afternoon
[Verse 7]
It's an old front porch swing
Afternoon
