    G Em
  • This old porch is a big ol' red and white Herford bull
    C D
    Standin' under a mesquite tree in Agua Dulce, Texas
  • G Em
    He keeps on playin' hide and seek with that hot august sun
    C D G
  • Sweatin' and a pantin' cause his work is never done
    Em C D
    Oh no, With those cows and a red top cane
  •  
    This old porch is a steamin' greasy plate of enchiladas
    With lots of cheese and onions ans a guacamole salad
  • You can get them at the LaSalle Hotel in old downtown
    With ice tea and a waitress who will smile every time
    Oh yeah, I left a quarter tip on my ten dollar bill
  •  
    This old porch is a palace walk in on a main street in Texas
    It ain't never seen or heard the days of G's and R's and X's
  • and that '62 poster that's almost faded down
    and a screen without a picture since Giant came to town
    Oh no, I like those junior mints and the red hots too, yes I do
  •  
    BREAK
     
  • This old porch is like a weathered grey haired seventy years of Texas
    who's doin' all he can not to give in to the city
    and he always takes my rent late so long as I run his cattle
  • he pickes me up at dinner time and I listen to him rattle
     
    he says the Brazos still runs muddy like she's run all along
  • there's never been no cane to grind and the cotton's all but gone
    you know this Chevrolet pickup truck, hell she was somethin' back in '60
    but now there won't nobody listen to him 'cause they all think he's crazy
  •  
    This old porch is just a long time of waiting and forgetting
    remembering the coming back and not crying about the leaving
  • and remembering the falling down and the laughter of the curse of luck
    from all those son's of bitches who said we'd never get back up
     
  • This old porch is a big old red and white Herford bull
    standing under a mesquite tree out in Agua Dulce
    he keep's on playing hide and seek with that hot August sun
  • he's sweating and a panting 'cause his work is never done
     
    I've know a whole lot of bulls in my time, and there work is never done.
  • PLAY TOO ..
