New West - Porch Light слова песни
On the road with a travelling bandJust ain`t the life for this average manIn hotel rooms or the bus till dawnIf it weren`t for the money I`d be up and goneThere`s a house that`s sitting on a stretch of landWhere the earth is black in the palm of your handIf I had my way that`s where I`d beOn the front porch sitting, just the family and meCHORUS:But under our porch lightThat`s where I learned to sing and dance through the nightOr sit with a country girl and hold her tightEverything was all rightCos no matter how dark, it would shine in the nightThat`s where I learned to love, under our porch lightMy father was a simple manLife to him had a simple planYou give a full day`s work for a full day`s wageAnd when the day is done, you just turn the pageIn the fields I learned about working hardOn Sundays I learned of the grace of GodAnd my mamma taught me how to be a gentle manCos a curse or swear would find the back of her hand(CHORUS)Life can teach the cold hard factsLike who to trust and how to watch your backBut I believe I learned the most by farIn the dead of night beneath the moon and stars(CHORUS)[Jeff Swaim; 1997 New West]
