Keen Robert Earl - The Front Porch Song - Sözleri

Robert Earl Keen/Lyle Lovett





This old porch is a big ol' red and white Herford bull


Standin' under a mesquite tree in Agua Dulce, Texas


He keeps on playin' hide and seek with that hot august sun


Sweatin' and a pantin' cause his work is never done


Oh no, with those cows and a red top cane





This old porch is a steamin' greasy plate of enchiladas


With lots of cheese and onions ans a guacamole salad


You can get them at the LaSalle Hotel in old downtown


With ice tea and a waitress who will smile every time


Oh yeah,  I left a quarter tip on my ten dollar bill





This old porch is a palace walk in on a main street in Texas


It ain't never seen or heard the days of G's and R's and X's


And that '62 poster that's almost faded down


And a screen without a picture since Giant came to town


Oh no,  I like those junior mints and the red hots too, yes I do





This old porch is like a weathered grey haired seventy years of Texas


Who’s doin' all he can not to give in to the city


And he always takes my rent late so long as I run his cattle


He picks me up at dinner time and I listen to him rattle





He says the Brazos still runs muddy like she's run all along


There’s never been no cane to grind and the cotton's all but gone


You know this Chevrolet pickup truck, hell she was somethin' back in '60


But now there won't nobody listen to him 'cause they all think he's crazy





This old porch is just a long time of waiting and forgetting


Remembering the coming back and not crying about the leaving


And remembering the falling down and the laughter of the curse of luck


From all those son's of bitches who said we'd never get back up





This old porch is a big old red and white Herford bull


Standing under a mesquite tree out in Agua Dulce


He keep's on playing hide and seek with that hot August sun


He’s sweating and a panting 'cause his work is never done


I've know a whole lot of bulls in my time, and there work is never done.
