A country/bluegrass lyric I came up with
The Front Porch Collective
(Vs)
We got mouth harps, banjo's and mandolins
guitars and lap steels, between all our kin and friends
Every Saturday night, we congregate right here
Playin our southern hearts out; tippin homemade beer
(Ch)
We're the front porch collective
together we are one.
Our only objective
is to play and have some fun.
We're schooled in music,
with Country our selective
Come and have a good time
with the front porch collective
(Vs)
You're more than welcome, to join us anytime
Throwin in some clappin, pipes or homemade wine
The only thing required, is laughter and a smile
Make your way to the holler, and party awhile
(Ch)
We're the front porch collective
together we are one.
Our only objective
is to play and have some fun.
We're schooled in music,
with Country our selective
Come and have a good time
with the front porch collective
(Bridge)
We play Paycheck, Merle and Jones;
Waylon and Johnny Cash
Some Earl and Scruggs, old Ernest Tubb
All the greats of country past
We won't touch this new stuff
called Country, but it's not
Only play, what you can truly say
Is country at its top
(Ch)
We're the front porch collective
together we are one.
Our only objective
is to play and have some fun.
We're schooled in music,
with Country our selective
Come and have a good time
with the front porch collective
