    Verse 1
    This 
    old porch 
    is 

    like a 
    big old 
    red 
    and 
    white 
    Hereford 
    bull 

    Standing 
    under 
    a mesquite 
    tree 

    Out 
    in Agua 
    Dulce 

    And 
    he just 
    keep
    on playing 

    hide 
    and seek 

    With that 
    hot 
    August 
    sun 

    Just 
    a-sweatin' 
    and 
    and 
    a-pantin' 

    Cause 
    Cause 
    his 
    work 
    is never 
    done 

    Verse 2
    And this 
    old porch 
    is 
    like a 
    steaming, 

    greasy 
    plate 
    of enchiladas 

    With lot
    of cheese 
    and 
    onions 

    And 
    guacamole salad 

    And you 
    can 
    get 
    'em down 

    at the 
    LaSalle 
    Hotel 

    In old 
    downtown 

    With 
    iced 
    tea 
    and 
    a waitress 

    And 
    she will 
    smile 
    every time 

    Verse 3
    And this 
    old porch 
    is the 
    Palace 
    walk-in 

    On 
    On the 
    main 
    street 
    of 
    Texas 

    That's 
    never 
    seen 
    the day 

    Of 
    and 
    and 
    Xs 

    With 
    that 
    '62 poster 

    That's 
    al
    most 
    faded 
    down 

    And 
    screen 
    without 
    picture 

    Since 
    Giant 
    came to 
    town 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    And this 
    old porch 
    is 
    like 
    a weathered, 

    gray-haired 

    Seventy 
    Seventy 
    years 
    of Texas 

    Who's 
    doing 
    all 
    he can 

    Not to 
    give 
    in to 
    the city 

    And he 
    al
    ways 
    takes 
    the rent 
    late 

    So 
    long 
    as I 
    run 
    his cattle 

    And he 
    picks 
    me 
    up at dinnertime 

    And I 
    listen 
    to 
    him rattle 

    Verse 5
    He says 
    the Brazos 
    still 
    runs 
    muddy 

    Just like 
    she's 
    run 
    all 
    along 

    And there ain't 
    nev
    er 

    been 
    no 
    cane 
    to grind 

    The 
    cotton's 
    all 
    but gone 

    And you know 
    this 
    brand 
    new 
    Chevrolet 

    Hell it 
    was something 
    back 

    in 
    '60 

    But now there 
    won't 
    nobody 

    listen 
    to 
    him 

    'Cause 
    they 
    all think 
    he's 
    crazy 

    Verse 6
    And 
    this 
    old porch 
    is 
    just 
    a long 
    time 

    Of 
    waiting 
    and 
    forgetting 

    And 
    re
    membering 
    the 
    coming 
    back 

    And not 
    crying 
    about 
    the 
    leaving 

    And 
    remem
    bering 
    the 
    falling 
    down 

    And the 
    laughter 
    of the 
    curse 
    of luck 

    From 
    all of 
    those 
    passerby 

    Who 
    said 
    we'd never 
    get 

    back 
    up 

    Verse 7

    This 
    old porch 
    is 
    just 
    a long 
    time 

    Of 
    waiting 
    and 
    forgetting 

    And re
    membering 
    the 
    coming 
    back 

    And not 
    crying 
    about 
    the 
    leaving 

    And remem
    bering 
    the 
    falling 
    down 

    And the 
    laughter 
    of the 
    curse 
    of luck 

    From 
    all of 
    those 
    sons-of-bitches 

    Who Who 
    Who said 
    we'd 
    never 

    Outro 1
    get back 
    up

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
