Verse 1
This old porch (D major) is
like a big old red and white (B minor) Hereford bull
Standing (G major) under a mesquite tree
(A major) Out in Agua Dulce
And he just keep (D major) s on playing
hide and seek
With that (B minor) hot August sun
Just a-sweatin' (G major) and and a-pantin'
Cause (A major) Cause his work is never done

Verse 2
And this old porch (D major) is like a steaming,
greasy plate (B minor) of enchiladas
With lot (G major) s of cheese and onions
And a (A major) guacamole salad
And you can (D major) get 'em down
at the LaSalle Hotel
In old (B minor) downtown
With (G major) iced tea and a waitress
And she will smile (A major) every time
Verse 3
And this old porch (D major) is the Palace walk-in
On On the (B minor) main street of Texas
(G major) That's never seen the day
Of (A major) G and R and Xs
With that (D major) '62 poster
(A major) That's (B minor) al most faded down
And a (G major) screen without a picture
(B minor) Since (A major) Giant came to town

Verse 4
And this old porch (D major) is like a weathered,
gray-haired
Seventy (B minor) Seventy years of Texas
(G major) Who's doing all he can
Not to (A major) give in to the city
And he (D major) al ways takes the rent late
So long (B minor) as I run his cattle
And he (G major) picks me up at dinnertime
And I (A major) listen to him rattle
Verse 5
He says the Brazos (D major) still runs muddy
Just like she's (B minor) run all along
And there ain't (G major) never
been no cane to grind
(A major) The cotton's all but gone
And you know this brand (D major) new Chevrolet
Hell it was something (B minor) back
in '60
But now there (G major) won't nobody
listen to him
'Cause (A major) they all think he's crazy
Verse 6
And this old porch (D major) is just a long time
(B minor) Of waiting and forgetting
And re (G major) membering the coming back
And not (A major) crying about the leaving
And remem (D major) bering the falling down
And the (B minor) laughter of the curse of luck
From (G major) all of those passerby
Who said (A major) we'd never get
back up
(D major) (B minor) (G major)
Verse 7
(A major)
This old porch (D major) is just a long time
Of (B minor) waiting and forgetting
And re (G major) membering the coming back
And not (A major) crying about the leaving
And remem (D major) bering the falling down
And the (B minor) laughter of the curse of luck
From (G major) all of those sons-of-bitches
Who Who Who said (A major) we'd never
