Louisiana Porch
The air blows nicely through my Louisiana porch
I could sit for hours and never check the time
It’s perfect to watch the sun shine
The cows are in the pasture, my dog is just a foot behind
Rocking in this old chair takes me to a simple state of mind
I don’t mind having company but don’t miss it if it ain't there
You can challenge me to a game of poker if you dare
Some call me a drunk
Some call me mean
But I say I'm somewhere in between
My old bird dog is the only love I have ever known
And there is no one sweeter than she
I call her Miss Gracie lea
My Louisiana porch is home to me
I would not trade my simple life for fame or money
For my view of the country is sweeter then honey
