This old porch is

like a big old red and white Hereford bull

Standing under a mesquite tree

Out in Agua Dulce

hide and seek

With that hot August sun
G
Just a-sweatin' and and a-pantin'

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

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