Sitting On the Front Porch

Me and two old men one black the other white sitting on the front porch along with Jesus dippin and sippin wine contemplating the seeds sewn with Peter, James and John and the coming day we'll see the great white throne... Once there they will tell the Good Lord all they troubles when they get to kingdom come all they lives they walked a hundred miles of bad road the world no friend to them their day will come after all God delivered Daniel and Jonah knew how to swim... One looked at the other and said I told my woman last night I was about to sleep so good darling share those covers with me if you could You know I'm approaching sixty-nine that's a long jumpy time to be a rollin and not lose your mind...
