That‘s Why God Made a Front Porch

　　That's Why God Made a Front Porch-Craig Campbell

　　A young boy needs a place to sit and wait

　　Cause she ain't ever ready for the date

　　That girl's daddy needs a quiet spot

　　To tell that boy the what's and what nots

　　Someday soon he's gonna bring her home

　　They'll sit on the swing with that light bulb on

　　He'll reach in the pocket of his ole blue jeans

　　Pull out a ring, get down on one knee

　　.

　　That's why God made a front porch

　　Put a little creak in the screen door

　　Something 'bout the sound of a g-chord

　　Foot tappin' on a loose board

　　Moon dancin' behind the willow tree

　　You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek

　　That ole house gets a little warm

　　That's why God made a front porch

　　.

　　I step over my ole dog and head to work

　　Put in a full day till my back hurts

　　As fast as this world goes 'round and 'round

　　Everybody needs a place to slow down

　　As my tires hit the gravel drive

　　The summer sun's hangin' on for dear life

　　There's my little angel in her sun dress

　　Sittin' cross-legged on the wood steps

　　.

　　That's why God made a front porch

　　Put a little creak in the screen door

　　Something 'bout the sound of a g-chord

　　Foot tappin' on a loose board

　　Wind chimes jangle in the evening breeze

　　You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek

　　A peaceful rain follows a thunderstorm

　　That's why God made a front porch

　　.

　　Full moon dancin' behind the willow tree

　　You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek

　　Yeah, that ole house gets a little warm

　　That's why God made a front porch
