[00:00:00] If The World Had A Front Porch (LP版) - Tracy Lawrence (崔西·罗伦斯)

[00:00:00] Written by：Paul Nelson/Kenny Beard/Tracy Lawrence

[00:00:12] It was where my Mama sat on

[00:00:15] That old swing with her crochet

[00:00:18] It was where Granddaddy taught me

[00:00:20] How to cuss and how to pray

[00:00:24] It was where we made our own

[00:00:26] Ice cream those sultry summer nights

[00:00:29] Where the bulldog had her puppies

[00:00:32] And us brothers had our fights

[00:00:36] There were many nights I'd sit right

[00:00:38] There and look out at the stars

[00:00:41] To the sound of a distant whippoorwill

[00:00:44] Or the hum of a passing car

[00:00:47] It was where I first got up

[00:00:50] The nerve to steal me my first kiss

[00:00:53] And it was where I learned to play guitar

[00:00:56] And pray I had the gift

[00:00:59] If the world had a front porch

[00:01:02] Like we did back then

[00:01:05] We'd still have our problems

[00:01:08] But we'd all be friends

[00:01:11] Treating your neighbor like

[00:01:14] He's your next of kin

[00:01:17] Wouldn't be gone with the wind

[00:01:22] If the world had a front porch

[00:01:26] Like we did back then

[00:01:34] Purple hulls and pintos

[00:01:36] I've shelled more than my share

[00:01:39] As lightening bugs and crickets danced

[00:01:42] In the evening air

[00:01:45] And like a beacon that old yellow bulb

[00:01:48] It always led me home

[00:01:51] Somehow Mama always knew

[00:01:53] Just when to leave it on

[00:01:56] If the world had a front porch like

[00:02:00] We did back then

[00:02:02] We'd still have our problems but

[00:02:05] We'd all be friends

[00:02:08] Treating your neighbor like

[00:02:11] He's your next of kin

[00:02:15] Wouldn't be gone with the wind

[00:02:20] If the world had a front porch

[00:02:23] Like we did back then

[00:02:29] Treating your neighbor like

[00:02:30] He's your next of kin

[00:02:34] Wouldn't be gone with the wind

[00:02:39] If the world had a front porch

[00:02:42] Like we did back then
