mama used to love to reminisce she d sat out on the porch on lights like this she d tell me about her favorite things in life like honeysuckle rain and fireflies out on that old porch swing i learned everything how to laugh and how to love and who i am and who s up above everything in between out on that old porch swing sixteen summertime and friday night my daddy s guitar couple cokes and all the guys the hours passed like cars through midnight air the first tunes that i ever played were there out on that old porch swing i played everything lynyrd skynyrd stevie ray some old garth brooks a little hank everything in between out on that old porch swing and my mind would just go rockin back and forth to the memories i made on my front porch the first time that i looked into her eyes she was close enough to press her lips to mine we were swingin through the night hand in hand it s where the best chapter in my life began out on that old porch swing i had everything my first love and my first kiss what i d wanted and what i d missed everything in between out on that old and i love that old and i miss that old porch swing
