[00:00:00] This Old Porch (Live) - Robert Earl Keen/Lyle Lovett

[00:00:01] Written by：Lyle Pearce/Robert Earl

[00:01:11] This old porch is like a big old red and white hereford bull

[00:01:17] Standing under a mesquite tree

[00:01:21] Out in Texas

[00:01:24] And he just keeps on playing hide and seek

[00:01:27] With that hot August sun

[00:01:30] Sweatin' and pantin'

[00:01:33] His work is never done

[00:01:36] This old porch is like a steaming greasy plate of enchiladas

[00:01:43] With lots of cheese and onions

[00:01:46] And a guacamole salad

[00:01:49] And you can get 'em down at the lasalle hotel

[00:01:52] In old downtown

[00:01:55] With iced tea and a waitress

[00:01:58] She will smile every time

[00:02:01] This old porch is the palace walk in

[00:02:05] On the main street of Texas

[00:02:09] That's never seen the day

[00:02:12] Of g and r and xs

[00:02:14] With that 62 poster

[00:02:17] That's almost faded down

[00:02:21] And a screen without a picture

[00:02:24] Since giant came to town

[00:02:52] This old porch is like a weathered gray haired

[00:02:56] Seventy years of Texas

[00:02:59] Who's doing all he can

[00:03:02] Not to give in to the city

[00:03:05] And he always takes the rent late

[00:03:08] So long as I run his cattle

[00:03:11] And he picks me up at dinnertime

[00:03:14] And I listen to him rattle

[00:03:17] He says the brazos still runs muddy

[00:03:20] Just like she's run all along

[00:03:24] There ain't never been no cane to grind

[00:03:28] The cotton's all but gone

[00:03:29] And you know this brand new chevrolet

[00:03:33] Hell it was something back in 60

[00:03:37] But now there won't nobody listen to him

[00:03:40] 'Cause they all think he's crazy

[00:03:43] This old porch is just a long time

[00:03:47] Of waiting and forgetting

[00:03:49] And remembering the coming back

[00:03:53] And not crying about the leaving

[00:03:56] And remembering the falling down

[00:03:59] And the laughter of the curse of luck

[00:04:02] From all of those passerby

[00:04:05] Who said we'd never get back up

[00:04:20] This old porch is just a long time

[00:04:24] Of waiting and forgetting

[00:04:27] And remembering the coming back

[00:04:30] And not crying about the leaving

[00:04:33] And remembering the falling down

[00:04:36] And the laughter of the curse of luck

[00:04:40] From all of those sons of bitches

[00:04:43] Who said we'd never get back up
