Lyrics:

A young boy needs a place to sit and wait
Cause she aint ever ready for the date
That girls daddy needs a quiet spot
To tell that boy the whats and what nots
Someday soon hes gonna bring her home
Theyll sit on the swing with that light bulb on
Hell reach in the pocket of his ole blue jeans
Pull out a ring, get down on one knee

Thats why god made a front porch
Put a little creak in the screen door
Something bout the sound of a g-chord
Foot tappin on a loose board
Moon dancin behind the willow tree
You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek
That ole house gets a little warm
Thats why god made a front porch

I step over my ole dog and head to work
Put in a full day till my back hurts
As fast as this world goes round and round
Everybody needs a place to slow down
As my tires hit the gravel drive
The summer suns hangin on for dear life
Theres my little angel in her sun dress
Sittin cross-legged on the wood steps

Thats why god made a front porch
Put a little creak in the screen door
Something bout the sound of a g-chord
Foot tappin on a loose board
Wind chimes jangle in the evening breeze
You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek
A peaceful rain follows a thunderstorm
Thats why god made a front porch

Full moon dancin behind the willow tree
You can hear that bullfrog clear across the creek
Yeah, that ole house gets a little warm
Thats why god made a front porch
Thats why god made a front porch
