that front porch song - vance gilbert 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)
