That Front Porch Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They come up my front steps In their dress blues Stand on my porch In their shiny black shoes But my front door's been jammed broke shut Since my man left home so I tell them "Come on in 'round the back" Yeah, my man can fix anything If you know what I mean Make that Tower of Pisa So it don't have to lean [Refrain] Lord, he make me feel so safe and so secure I just wanna jump up and sing Thank you Lord [Verse 2] They hand me this letter All bordered in black Some papers to sign And this folded up flag They tell me he was bravе And I say "Tell me something nеw" Why he'd climb up my roof In rain and the snow To adjust my antenna For my favorite show [Refrain] Lord, he make me feel safe and so secure I just wanna jump up and sing Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord) [Bridge] I got a broke kitchen table And there's mud in the yard And the house needs a coat of Sherwin Williams And just when I start feeling Like life is so hard That's when I think of him And how he's defending us From something [Guitar and Mandolin Solos] [Bridge] I got a rusted-out Chevy Up on blocks in the yard And the house needs a coat of Sherwin Williams And just when I'm feeling Like life is so hard That's when I think of him And how he's defending us From something [Verse 3] Yeah, that one's my oldest He's the oldest of five That I can barely keep clothed Fed, much less alive Now we never had nothin' So I guess he ain't got nothin' to lose And just like his daddy He'll go off to fight And when I tuck the other four children Into bed that night [Refrain] Lord, I'll feel so safe and so secure (Safe and secure) I just wanna jump up and sing I feel so safe and so secure (Safe and secure) I wanna jump up and sing Lord, I feel so safe and so secure (Safe and secure) I wanna jump up and sing Thank you Lord (Mmm)
