Front Porch Swingin')(Verse 1)
Sittin' on that old front porch swing, creakin' with the breeze,
Mama's callin' supper, Daddy's readin' from the Good Book, please.
Sunday mornin' church bells ringin', starched collars and ties so tight,
We'd file in those wooden pews, singin' hymns till the mornin' light.
Then home for the feast, fried chicken and cornbread,
Family 'round the table, bowin' heads for what we've been fed. (Chorus)
Oh, where'd those family values go, the ones that held us strong?
We need 'em back, like rain on a dusty road, where we all belong.
No screens or rushin' 'round, just love in every word we say,
Bring back the simple ways, Lord, take us back to yesterday. (Verse 2)
Friday night headlights flickerin' at the drive-in screen so grand,
Popcorn in our laps, holdin' hands, forgettin' all the plans.
Her laugh in the dark, that old pickup truck our throne,
Watchin' cowboys ride, feelin' like we owned the whole dang zone.
Monday mornin' rise, hand over heart in that classroom hall,
Pledge of Allegiance echoin', standin' proud, one and all. (Chorus)
Oh, where'd those family values go, the ones that held us strong?
We need 'em back, like rain on a dusty road, where we all belong.
No screens or rushin' 'round, just love in every word we say,
Bring back the simple ways, Lord, take us back to yesterday. (Bridge)
Now the world's spinnin' faster, kids glued to their glowin' phones,
Forgot the creek bank whispers, the way the wild river moans. (Verse 3)
Friday night catfishin', bait on the line, stars winkin' overhead,
My gal by the fire, her head on my shoulder, nothin' left unsaid.
Reel in a big one, laugh till we cry, moon dancin' on the water's edge,
Those creek bank promises, sealed with a kiss on that river ledge. (Outro Chorus)
Oh, where'd those family values go, the ones that held us strong?
We need 'em back, like rain on a dusty road, where we all belong.
Swingin' on that porch again, church and dinner callin' me home,
Family values forever, in my heart, they'll never roam.
Yeah, take us back... to yesterday. ( please bring it back Lord )
