[Chorus]
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
My baby's got a song to sing
While the crickets and the train whistle harmonize
Doing that front-porch thing
Clanging and a-banging out a feel-good tune
Strumming on my old 6-string
Sure can kill these country blues
Doing that front-porch thing
[Verse 1]
Work's been slow, money's been tight
But that's alright, honey, that's alright
Sometimes you won't, but sometimes you will
And when she do what she do, it's a doggone thrill
[Chorus]
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
My baby's got a song to sing
While the crickets and the train whistle harmonize
Doing that front-porch thing
Clanging and a-banging out a feel-good tune
Strumming on my old 6-string
Sure can kill these country blues
Doing that front-porch thing
[Verse 2]
When the moon comes up, we sit down
And the chains start creaking, making swinging sounds
Fall in love all over again
Having so much fun, it ought to be a sin
[Chorus]
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
My baby's got a song to sing
While the crickets and the train whistle harmonize
Doing that front-porch thing
Clanging and a-banging out a feel-good tune
Strumming on my old 6-string
Sure can kill these country blues
Doing that front-porch thing
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Good Lord willing and the creek don't rise
My baby's got a song to sing
While the crickets and the train whistle harmonize
Doing that front-porch thing
We're clanging and a-banging out a feel-good tune
Strumming on my old 6-string
Sure can kill these country blues
Doing that front-porch thing
[Outro]
When we're doing that front-porch thing
When we're doing that front-porch thing
Doing that front-porch thing
