Mama's Front Porch
(Verse 1)
I was just a boy with skinned-up knees,
Runnin' wild in the summer breeze,
But every day when the sun got low,
Mama's front porch is where I'd go.
She'd sit me down with a sweet iced tea,
Say, "Son, listen to the world and you'll see,
There's more to life than what meets the eye,
You'll learn the best things just takin' your time."
(Chorus)
On Mama's front porch, the world seemed still,
With a gentle voice, she'd bend my will,
Taught me love, and she taught me grace,
In that old wooden chair, that was my place.
From heartache to hope, and dreams to the stars,
She said, "Son, don't forget who you are."
Every lesson learned, every scar I'd touch,
Was healed on Mama's front porch.
(Verse 2)
When I was sixteen, I fell in love,
Thought she was the one sent from above,
But when she left, I was broken down,
Mama pulled me close and turned it around.
She said, "Heartbreak's hard, but it won't last long,
You're strong enough to carry on,
In time you'll find what love's about,
But right now, son, just let it out."
(Chorus)
On Mama's front porch, the world seemed still,
With a gentle voice, she'd bend my will,
Taught me love, and she taught me grace,
In that old wooden chair, that was my place.
From heartache to hope, and dreams to the stars,
She said, "Son, don't forget who you are."
Every lesson learned, every scar I'd touch,
Was healed on Mama's front porch.
(Bridge)
Now I'm grown with kids of my own,
But when life gets heavy, I find my way home,
To that old house where the memories stay,
Where Mama's words still guide my way.
(Chorus)
On Mama's front porch, the world seems still,
With a gentle voice, she bends my will,
Taught me love, and she taught me grace,
In that old wooden chair, that's still my place.
From heartache to hope, and dreams to the stars,
She said, "Son, don't forget who you are."
Every lesson learned, every scar I'd touch,
Was healed on Mama's front porch.
(Outro)
So when the world gets tough and I feel lost,
I think about Mama and the lines we crossed,
Her love and wisdom I'll never outgrow,
It all started on Mama's front porch, long ago.

Mama's Front Porch
(Verse 1)

Runnin' wild in the summer breeze,
But every day when the sun got low,

There's more to life than what meets the eye,
You'll learn the best things just takin' your time."
(Chorus)

With a gentle voice, she'd bend my will,
Taught me love, and she taught me grace,
In that old wooden chair, that was my place.

She said, "Son, don't forget who you are."
Every lesson learned, every scar I'd touch,
Was healed on Mama's front porch.
