Eb Cm
This old porch is like a big old red and white Hereford bull
Ab
Standing under a mesquite tree
Bb
Out in Agua Dulce
Eb
And he just keeps on playing hide and seek
Cm
With that hot August sun
Ab
Just A-sweatin' and A-pantin'
Bb
Cause his work is never done
Eb Cm
And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas
Ab
With lots of cheese and onions
Bb
And a guacamole salad
Eb
And you can get'em down at the LaSalle Hotel
Cm
In old downtown
Ab
With iced tea and a waitress
Bb
And she will smile every time
Eb
And this old porch is the Palace walk-in
Cm
On the main street of Texas
Ab
That's never seen the day
Bb
Of G and R and Xs
Eb
With that '62 poster
Cm
That's almost faded down
Ab
And a screen without a picture
Bb
Since Giant came to town
Eb
And this old porch is like a weathered, gray-haired
Cm
Seventy years of Texas
Ab
Who's doing all he can
Bb
Not to give in to the city
Eb
And he always takes the rent late
Cm
So long as I run his cattle
Ab
And he picks me up at dinnertime
Bb
And I listen to him rattle
Eb
He says the Brazos still runs muddy
Cm
Just like she's run all along
Ab
And there ain't never been no cane to grind
Bb
The cotton's all but gone
Eb
And you know this brand new Chevrolet
Cm
Hell it was something back in '60
Ab
But now there won't nobody listen to him
Bb
Cause they all think he's crazy
Eb
And this old porch is just a long time
Cm
Of waiting and forgetting
Ab
And remembering the coming back
Bb
And not crying about the leaving
Eb
And remembering the falling down
Cm
And the laughter of the curse of luck
Ab
From all of those passerby
Bb
Who said we'd never get back up
Eb
This old porch is just a long time
Cm
Of waiting and forgetting
Ab
And remembering the coming back
BB
And not crying about the leaving
Eb
And remembering the falling down
Cm
And the laughter of the curse of luck
Ab
From all of those sons-of-b***hes
Bb Eb
Who said we'd never get back up
