lyrics

I’ve got a porch swing
And I’ve got my four strings
I still have a little song to sing
I know all about your misery
And I’m your favorite company
So why not stay with me.

Back in the day--
all I had to do was think of you and you’d come running
Back in the day--
I could always have my way with you
You listen here--
cause I’m still extending the invitation
Don’t be a fool--
you know that I still know what’s best for you

Now’s your chance run away
Make each day a holiday
Come away with me
We’ll make ourselves a little home
No more this world to roam
Darling, won’t you please

Back in the day--
all I had to do was think of you and you’d come running
Back in the day--
I could always have my way with you
You listen here--
cause I’m still extending the invitation
Don’t be a fool--
you know that I still know what’s best for you

Here on my porch swing
We speak our minds openly
and do just as we please
Some days we don’t speak at all
Just watch the world go by in awe
So why not stay with me

Back in the day--
all I had to do was think of you and you’d come running
Back in the day--
I could always have my way with you
You listen here--
cause I’m still extending the invitation
Don’t be a fool--
you know that I still know what’s best for you

Now my old porch is miles away
And all your days are worn and gray
I tend to let you be
But if your thoughts should drift to me
Don’t turn away the memory
Let them linger for soft and free

Back in the day--
all I had to do was think of you and you’d come running
Back in the day--
I could always have my way with you
You listen here--
cause I’m still extending the invitation
Don’t be a fool--
you know that I still know what’s best for you
