Back Porch

(앨범: The Presidents Of The United States Of America - 1995)

Happy with no teeth
Happy here in hibernation
Slurping on a peach
Staring at the situation
Kitty at my foot
Meowing out a conversation
Rocking back and forth
That's my only destination

[Chorus:]
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me!
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that...

Got a two string on my lap
Total subsonic vacation
Got chicken on the drums,
Pounding out a perfect prescription
Got twenty little worms
I'll plug in some amplification
Got fifteen hundred base drum lugging bug-eyed monkeys
All arriving at the station

[Chorus]

I'm sitting on the back porch, kicking my legs back,
rocking in my rocking chair, and sitting there
On the little back porch is about to fall apart
So I think I might repair it
Just as I'm thinking about repairing it,
Some little friends come along
with some two-string, one-string, no-string guitars
And they all plug em all in to the back porch
And they sit around playing all their favorite songs
They's kicking back feeling real good,
real fine, real full of the wine
And everything's fine, everything's beautiful,
everything's great, I just feel so good
You know I'm seventy years old
and I'm slurping everything through a straw

But I'm an...

[Chorus]
