Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now, I look at my front porch, at this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up with rays of golden sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences like that's where it was hung
[PreChorus]
My blessings are in front of me, it's not about the land
I'll never beat the view from my front porch looking in
[Chorus]
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue-eyed blonde with her shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
And the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I've travelled here and everywhere following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home to the one He made for me
[PreChorus]
'Cause anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away like my front porch looking in
[Chorus]
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue-eyed blonde with her shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah, the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, oh, yeah
[Bridge]
I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in, not when I'm looking out
[Chorus]
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue-eyed blonde with her shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah, the view I love the most
Oh, the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Oh, there's a carrot top who can barely walk
(From my front porch looking in) A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong, yeah
And the most beautiful girl (Beautiful girl)
Holding both of them, oh, yeah (From my front porch looking in)
