Verse 1
Sittin' on the front porch
F 
C 
on a summer afternoon
In a straightback chair on two legs,
G 
C 
leaned against the wall
Watch the kids a' playin'
F 
C 
with June bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies
G 
C 
when evening shadows fall

Chorus 1

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields nearby

Verse 2

Honeysuckle vine clings

to the fence along the lane

Their fragrance makes the summer wind

so sweet

And on a distant hilltop,

an eagle spreads it's wings

An' a songbird on a fence post

sings a melody

Chorus 2

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields nearby

Interlude 1

Verse 3
C 
C7 
Walkin' home from church on a Sunday
F 
C 
with the one ya' love
G7 
C 
Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
C7 
And when the folks ain't lookin',
F 
C 
you might steal a kiss or two
G7 
C 
Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

Chorus 3

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields nearby
