Lyrics

All I want is a porch with a creaky wood floor
a big rocking chair and an old screen door
to watch for the sun as it takes to the sky
and sit in the rain and still stay dry

Now I?ve been working all day ?till the sun goes down
building me a place outside of town
just a little log cabin by the edge of the wood
where the air is clear and the living is good
I?ve been breaking my back but I guess it don?t show
the rhythm is fine just a little slow
ain?t started on the roof ain?t finished on the wall
the only thing I done is the best bit of all
And now I got me a porch with a creaky wood floor
a big rocking chair and an old screen door
to watch for the sun as it takes to the sky
and sit in the rain and still stay dry

There´s some folk driving in a brand new car
never going to change the way they are
born with a passion you could call greed
never known the difference between want and need

Now some come to visit at the end of the day
drink a little wine then they?re on their way
others stick around even lend a hand
but somehow I know they don?t understand

That all I want is a porch with a creaky wood floor
a big rocking chair and an old screen door
to watch for the sun as it takes to the sky
and sit in the rain and still stay dry
