Front Porch - Brent Best (thanks to Gregor Anderson) Recorded version is in G
[Verse 1]
DDriven to silence but I'm drGowning in Dsin
My mandolin hangs on the wGall once agaAin
DI can't seem to find the right wF#mords from within
GBut I won't be loAoking for lDong
[Verse 2]
DThere comes a time when nGothing seems cDlear
When you're passed out on the front porch with a hGead full of Abeer
DConfused and clouded by thouF#mghts of you dear
But I woGn't be thAinking for Dlong
[Verse 3]
DSo many years ago wGhen I was Dpure
I was drunk on direction but affliGcted with a Acure
DFor all ailments cynical, thaF#mt's how things were
But I diGdn't stay druAnk for too lDong
[Verse 4]
DNotions and knowledge came and sGobered me Dup
I sipped from their bottle and I slGammed a whole cAup
DThat swill seemed to sit well, but I F#mshould've thrown it up
'Cause it diGdn't sit Awell for too lDong
[Middle 8]
BmI was a fool, I was stGupid becaAuse
I was mBmistaking knowledge for jGust a good bAuzz
BmFive years drunk on wine and wGords and wit
Served by cEmynics and charlatans, they were aAll full of shit
[Middle 8]
BmEmpty cans of frustration and caGns of regAret
Line the lBmiving room floor that yoGu've often swAept
Pop anBmother one open and rGetch at the stench
It's a hEmard drink to swallow for a thAirst you can't quench
[Verse 5]
But thDere'll, there'll come a time when iGt all seems clDear
When your passed out on the front porch with your hGead full of bAeer
ConfDused and clouded by thF#moughts of you dear
But I woGn't be clAouded for lDong
[Verse 6]
DNow I'm driven to silence and I'm drGowning in Dsin
My mandolin hangs on the wGall once agaAin
DI can't seem to find the right wF#mords from within
But I woGn't be loAoking for lDong
ID'll stink of drink till F#mI let you in
Then I wGon't be sAtinking for Dlong
No, I woGn't be stAinking for Dlong
