You sit and watch the pines sway in the rainstorm a comin’
Rocking on the front porch watching the dogs come home
Heavy on your mind weigh the car parts and linens
You’re thinking about the old days when they were young
Your teeth are coffee stained but you’ve got to admit
You’re staying awake just a little bit
Your lips are chapped and dry kissing your girl
But she don’t give a damn
As long as she’s kissing her man
And holding your hand in her hand
And doing the best she can
You say you want to live a long life a long life of living
Dreaming on the front porch til the dogs come home
You say you want to give her something that you’ve never given
And now you’re waking up again to realize
That waking up again doesn’t make you wise
Your teeth are coffee stained and you’re singing the blues
But she can hear your voice
Over the evening news
So sing anything you choose
You’ve only got time to lose
Your teeth are coffee stained but you’ve got to admit
You’re staying awake just a little bit
Your lips are chapped and dry kissing your girl
But she don’t give a damn
As long as she’s kissing her man
And holding your hand in her hand
You sit and watch the pines sway in the rainstorm a comin’
Rocking on the front porch watching the dogs come home
Heavy on your mind weigh the car parts and linens
You’re thinking about the old days when they were young
Your teeth are coffee stained but you’ve got to admit
You’re staying awake just a little bit
Your lips are chapped and dry kissing your girl
But she don’t give a damn
As long as she’s kissing her man
And holding your hand in her hand
And doing the best she can
You say you want to live a long life a long life of living
Dreaming on the front porch til the dogs come home
You say you want to give her something that you’ve never given
