[Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] This old porch is like a big old [Cm] red and white riverboat
[Ab] Standing under a mesquite tree
[Bb] I don't know what they'll say
And [Eb] he just keeps on playing hide and seek
[C] With that hot August sun
[Ab] Just a sweat and then a panic
[Bb] Cause his work is never done
And this [Eb] old porch is like a steaming [Cm] greasy plate of enchiladas
[Ab] With lots of cheese and onions
[Bb] And a guacamole salad
And you can [Eb] get them down at the La Salle Hotel [C] in Old Downtown
With [Ab] iced tea and a waitress
And she [Bb] will smile every time
And this [Eb] old porch is the palace walking
On the [Cm] main street of Texas
_ [Ab]
It's never seen the day
[Bb] A G and R in excess
With that 62 [Eb] poster
It's [Cm] almost faded down
[Ab] And a screen without a picture
[Bb] Since Giant came to town
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _ And this [Eb] old porch is like a weathered gray [Cm]-haired 70-year-old Texas
[Ab] He's doing all he can
Not [Bb] to give in to the city
And [Eb] he always takes the red plate
So [Cm] long as I run the count
And [Ab] he picks me up at dinner time
And [Bb] I listen to him rattle
He says the [Eb] grass is still run smutty
Just like [Cm] she's run all along
And there [Ab] ain't never been no cane to grind
[Bb] The cotton's all but gone
And you know [Eb] this brand new Chevrolet
A hell of [Cm] a sum'n back in 60's
But [Ab] now there won't nobody listen to him
[Bb] Cause they all think he's crazy
And this [Eb] old porch is just a long time
[Cm] Of waiting and forgetting
[Ab] And remembering the coming back
And not [Bb] crying about the leaving
[Eb] And remembering the falling down
[Cm] And the laughter of the curse of [Ab] luck
From all of those passers [Bb]-by
Who said we'd never get back up

Of waiting and forgetting
