Sittin' on the front porch in my own pers'nal heaven Listenin' to my uncles count five six seven As we all join together, and sing gram's favorite song The one about flyin' away when life's troubles are too strong And we danced around the field Sheddin' hair pins like a dog And we sang the songs that made us feel Like we'd never grow old And we held our hands And raised our heads And said to no one at all God bless our sweet petunia Heaven save us all I remember the first time that I joined in the band I sang a song with just one chord, but everybody still gave a hand Mom and dad they both were lookin' so proud Even though I messed up, and my strummin' was too loud And we danced around the field Sheddin' hair pins like a dog And we sang the songs that made us feel Like we'd never grow old And we held our hands And raised our heads And said to no one at all God bless our sweet petunia Heaven save us all
