My Tennessee Mountain Home

[Verse 1]

Sittin’ on the front porch on a summer afternoon

In a straight-back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall

Watch the kids a-playin’ with Junebugs on a string

And catch the glowin’ fireflies when evening shadows fall

[Chorus]

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

[Verse 2]

Honeysuckle vines cling to the fence along the lane

Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet

And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings

And a songbird on a fencepost sings a melody

[Chorus]

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

[Verse 3]

Walkin’ home from church on Sunday with the one ya love

Just laughin’, talkin’, makin’ future plans

And when the folks ain’t lookin’, you might steal a kiss or two

Just sittin’ in the porch swing holdin’ hands

[Chorus]

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

Oh, in my Tennessee mountain home…
