Old Man on the Porch

He loved his old rockin' chair
You would always find him there
Smokin' his pipe and rockin' off to sleep
I'd run and jump into his lap
Wake him from his daily nap
And tell him secrets he would always keep

The old man on the porch
With the sun going down
With the little girl beside him that makes his world go 'round
Forever in my heart, there will always be
The old man on the porch and me

He was a man with callus hands, lifted up his old milk cans
It seemed to me they weighed a thousand tonnes
He was up before the break of day
Choppin' wood and makin' hay
He never stopped until the day was done

The old man on the porch
With the sun going down
With the little girl beside him that makes his world go 'round
Forever in my heart, there will always be
The old man on the porch and me

Like summer time leads to fall
Time passes for us all
True enough the winter winds will blow
Although the years slip away
His memory will never fade
It follows me where ever I may go

The old man on the porch
With the sun going down
With the little girl beside him that makes his world go 'round
Forever in my heart, there will always be
The old man on the porch and me
