Front porch swing, mint julep in my hand The quiet of midnight in a small town land Ain't nothing better in this whole wide world Makes your worries fade and it calms your nerves Nothing made by pharma ever works like this You'll be ready for tomorrow with a few more sips So take a little break watch the world go by As you sway to the rhythm of times gone by on that Front porch swing, mint julep in your hand In the quiet of midnight in a small town land Hear the crickets sing, watch lightning bugs dance The chorus of the peepers put you in a trance The mountain and the river bring a gentle breeze Cuts through the heat, it's just what you need While you take a little break before you go to bed As your mind drifts away far from your head on that Front porch swing, mint julep in your hand In the quiet of midnight in a small town land So sip it while you're swaying, take some deep long breaths Soak up the silence and melt into the ease While you're on that Front porch swing, mint julep in your hand In the quiet of midnight in any small town land Trust in the magic of your little home town And life's simple pleasures on a front porch swing
