Refrain

Sittin' on the back porch; Sun is sinkin' low. Nowhere that I need to be Or that I want to go. Radio is playin' tunes I'm happy to be hearin'. No one's noises from next door Are loud or interferin'. Food leftover tasted good; Beer was dark and heady. There's a smile within my heart; Whatever comes, I'm ready. Weekend worked out wonderfully Despite a day of rain. Life should always feel like this - Repeat - that's the refrain.
