Verse 1
It was [C]where my mama sat on that old [G]swing with her crochet,
It was [Am]where granddaddy [F]taught me how to [C]cuss and how to [G]pray,
It was [Am]where we made our [Em]own ice cream those [F]sultry summer [C]nights,
Where the [Dm]bulldog had her [Em]puppies, and us [F]brothers had our [G]fights,
Verse 2
There were [C]many nights I'd sit right [G]there and look out at the stars,
To the [Am]sound of a [F]distant [C]whippoorwill, or the hum of a [G]passin' car,
It was [Am]where I first got [Em]up the nerve to [F]steal me my first [C]kiss,
and it was [Dm]where I learned to [Em]play guitar and [F]pray I had the [G]gift,
Chorus
If the world [C]had a front [F]porch like [G]we did back [Am]then,

[F]wouldn't be gone, [C]with the [Am]wind,
if the world [F]had a front [C]porch
like [G]we did back [C][F]then[F][C]

Purple [C]hulls and pintos, I've [G]shelled more than my share,
lightning [Am]bugs and [F]crickets, Danced [C]in the evening [G]air,

some how [Dm]mama always [Em]knew, just [F]when to leave it [G]on,
