Good dog, good dog, where you gonna lieWhen the screened in sun hits your belly just right?I’ma ease my coming home pedal off the floorWhile you bite my tires all the way to the porchPretty girl, pretty girl, pick you up at eightWhat you wanna bet your daddy’s gonna say?Eleven means eleven not eleven o’ fourDon’t want to see him flicker that light on the porchWhoa, you can find meGetting lost in a Carolina breezeWhoa, it’s where I wanna beWhen the sunset’s cutting through the treesSwaying on a swing, just talking to the LordI’ve done a lot of good living just sitting on the porchCold beer, cold beer, chilling on iceIn an old metal cooler with a sticker on the side, IGot some buddies coming over for some Coors‘Bout to be a bunch of cans getting crushed on the porchWhoa, you can find meGetting lost in a Carolina breezeWhoa, it’s where I wanna beWhen the sunset’s cutting through the treesSwaying on a swing, just talking to the LordI’ve done a lot of good living just sitting on the porchLittle man, little man, climb up in my lapLeave your little boots by mine on the matOne day you’re gonna make this big world yoursBut you’ll always have a spot by your daddy on the porchWhoa, you can find meGetting lost in a Carolina breezeWhoa, it’s where I wanna beWhen the sunset’s cutting through the treesSwaying on a swing, just talking to the LordI’ve done a lot of good living just sitting on the porchMy favorite kind of living’s just sitting on the porch
