Sitting on a front porch on a summer afternoonWith a straight-back chair and two legsLean against the wallWatch the kids a-playin' with the junebucks on a streamChase the glowin' fireflies when evening shadows fallsIn my Tennessee mountain homeLife is as peaceful as a baby's sighIn my Tennessee mountain homeCrickets sing in a field nearbyHoneysuckle wine clings on a fence along the laneThe pragnants make the summer wind so sweetAnd on a distant hilltop an eagle spread his wingsSongbird on a fencepole sings the melodyIn my Tennessee mountain homeLife is as peaceful as a baby's sighIn my Tennessee mountain homeCrickets sing in a field nearbyChase the glowin' fireflies when evening shadows fallsWalkin' home from church on Sunday with the one you loveJust talkin', laughin', makin' future plansWell, the folks think lookin' you might steal a kiss or twoSittin' on a porch and holdin' handsIn my Tennessee mountain homeLife is as peaceful as a baby's sighIn my Tennessee mountain homeCrickets sing in a field nearbyHoneysuckle wine clings on a fence along the laneIn my Tennessee mountain homeLife is as peaceful as a baby's sighIn my Tennessee mountain homeCrickets sing in a field nearbyHoneysuckle wine clings on a fence along the laneHoneysuckle wine clings on a fence along the lane
