[Verse 1]
I Gsigned up to Emsee this world
Through the winAmdows of buses and pDlanes
EvGer since they caEmlled my number

And I loAmve this roll I'm oDn
But I dEmo run out of gGas
Can only ruAmn so fast so loDng ('til)
[Chorus]
I need some frGont porch rockin'
Some baEmck road walkin'
Some sitAmtin' 'round talkin' 'bout notDhin'
I need some scrGeen door slammin'
Some hoEmme made jam and
Some biscAmuits cookin' in the oDven
I need a liAmttle fun with my litDtle ones
A little gosEmpel on SundaGy
I need some hanAmgin' 'round my little towDn
In a bGig way

Can only run so fast so long ('til)

[Chorus]

I need some front porch rockin'

Some back road walkin'

Some sittin' 'round talkin' 'bout nothin'

I need some screen door slammin'

Some home made jam and

Some biscuits cookin' in the oven

I need a little fun with my little ones

A little gospel on Sunday

I need some hangin' 'round my little town

In a big way

G Em

I may wake in the mornin' in Dallas
