My Tennessee Mountain Home

Album: My Tennessee Mountain Home (1973)

  • 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 June bugs on a string
    And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall

    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Crickets sing in the fields near by

    Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane
    Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
    And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads it's wings
    An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Crickets sing in the fields near by

    Walkin' home from church on Sunday with the one ya' love
    Just laughin', talkin', making future plans
    And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
    Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands

    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
    In my Tennessee mountain home
    Crickets sing in the fields near by
