Intro 
G  Em  C  D (X2) 

         G                                     Em 
This old porch is like a big old red and white Hereford bull 
         C 
Standing under a mesquite tree 
D 
Out in Agua Dulce 
            G 
And he just keeps on playing hide and seek 
          Em 
With that hot August sun 
       C 
Just a-sweatin' and a-pantin' 
          D 
Cause his work is never done 

             G                                Em 
And this old porch is like a steaming, greasy plate of enchiladas 
     C 
With lots of cheese and onions 
      D 
And a guacamole salad 
            G 
And you can get'em down at the LaSalle Hotel 
   Em 
In old downtown 
     C 
With iced tea and a waitress 
             D 
And she will smile every time 

             G 
And this old porch is the Palace walk-in 
       Em 
On the main street of Texas 
       C 
That's never seen the day 
   D 
Of G and R and Xs 
          G 
With that '62 poster 
       Em 
That's almost faded down 
      C 
And a screen without a picture 
      G 
Since Giant came to town 

G  Em  C  D (X2) 

             G 
And this old porch is like a weathered, gray-haired 
Em 
Seventy years of Texas 
      C 
Who's doing all he can 
       D 
Not to give in to the city 
       G 
And he always takes the rent late 
   Em 
So long as I run the cattle 
    C 
And he picks me up at dinnertime 
      D 
And I listen to him rattle 

            G 
He says the Brazos still runs muddy 
          Em 
Just like she's run all along 
                C 
And there ain't never been no cane to grind 
D 
The cotton's all but gone 
                  G 
And you know this brand new Chevrolet 
            Em 
Hell it was something back in '60 
              C 
But now there won't nobody listen to him 
       D 
'Cause they all think he's crazy 

             G 
And this old porch is just a long time 
Em 
Of waiting and forgetting 
      C 
And remembering the coming back 
        D 
And not crying about the leaving 
      G 
And remembering the falling down 
        Em 
And the laughter of the curse of luck 
     C 
From all of those passers-by 
    D 
Who said we'd never get back up 

G  Em  C  D 

         G 
This old porch is just a long time 
Em 
Of waiting and forgetting 
    C 
And remembering the coming back 
        D 
And not crying about the leaving 
      G 
And remembering the falling down 
        Em 
And the laughter of the curse of luck 
     C 
From all of those sons-of-bitches 
    D 
Who said we'd never get back up
