Sitting on a front porch
on a summer afternoon
In a straight back chair and two
legs leaned against the wall
Watch the kids are playing with
June bugs on a string
And catch the glowing fireflies
when evening shadows fall
In my
Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my
Tennessee mountain home
thinkin' and singin' in the
fields nearby.
Honey suckle 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 fencepole
sings a melody
In my
Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as the baby's side
In my
Tennessee, miles and miles,
thinking and singing in the fields nearby
Walking home from church on
Sunday with the one you love
Just laughing, talking,
making future plans
And when the folks ain't looking
We might still kiss or two
Sitting in the porch swing holding hands
In my
Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my
Tennessee mountain home,
thinking and singing in the building nearby
In my
Tennessee mountain home,
life is as peaceful as the
Memphis high
In my
Tennessee mountain heart
Thinking of singing
in the fields nearby
In my
Tennessee mountain heart
I feel as peaceful as a baby's cry
In my
Tennessee mountain home
We've been singing in the midnight
In my
Tennessee mountain home
My kids peaceful as a baby's cry
In the deep blue sea, miles and miles
They keep singing in the deep blue sea
In the deep blue sea, miles and miles
