Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
  In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall
  Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string
  And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
  Chorus:
  
  In my Tennessee mountain home
  Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
  In my Tennessee mountain home
  Crickets sing in the fields near by
  
  Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
  Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
  And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
  An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody
  
  Repeat Chorus
  
  Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love
  Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
  And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
  Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands
  
  Repeat Chorus
