That's Why God Made A Front Porch

Craig Campbell - That's Why God Made A Front Porch

.

A young boy needs a place to sit and wait

Cause she ain't ever ready for the date

That girl's daddy needs a quiet spot

To tell that boy the what's and what nots

Someday soon he's gonna bring her home

They'll sit on the swing with that light bulb on

He'll reach in the pocket of his ole blue jeans

Pull out a ring, get down on one knee

.

That's why God made a front porch

Put a little creak in the screen door

Something 'bout the sound of a g-chord

Foot tappin' on a loose board

Moon dancin' behind the willow tree

You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek

That ole house gets a little warm

That's why God made a front porch

.

I step over my ole dog and head to work

Put in a full day till my back hurts

As fast as this world goes 'round and 'round

Everybody needs a place to slow down

As my tires hit the gravel drive

The summer sun's hangin' on for dear life

There's my little angel in her sun dress

Sittin' cross-legged on the wood steps

.

That's why God made a front porch

Put a little creak in the screen door

Something 'bout the sound of a g-chord

Foot tappin' on a loose board

Wind chimes jangle in the evening breeze

You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek

A peaceful rain follows a thunderstorm

That's why God made a front porch

.

Full moon dancin' behind the willow tree

You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek

Yeah, that ole house gets a little warm

That's why God made a front porch

That's why God made a front porch
