Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straight-back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall
Watch the kids a-playin' with Junebugs on a string
And catch the glowin' fireflies when evening shadows fall
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin' in the fields nearby
Honeysuckle vines cling to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
And a songbird on a fencepost sings a melody
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin' in the fields nearby
Walkin' home from church on Sunday with the one ya love
Just laughin', talkin', makin' future plans
And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two
Just sittin' in the porch swing holdin' hands
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin' in the fields nearby
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin' in the fields nearby
Oh, in my Tennessee mountain home…
