Back Porch

Happy with no teeth
Happy here in hibernation
Slurpin' on a peach
Starin' at the situation

Kitty on my foot
Meowin' out a conversation
Rockin' back and forth
That's my only destination

And that old man is me

Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch

Got a two string on my lap
Total subsonic vacation
Got chicken on the drums
Poundin' out a perfect prescription

Got twenty little worms
I'll plug in some amplification
Got fifteen hundred base drum luggin' bug-eyed monkeys
All arriving at the station

Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch

Rockin' in my rocking chair, sittin' there

And they sit around playin' all their favorite songs
They kickin' back feelin' real good
Real fine, real full of the wine
And everything's fine, everything's beautiful
Everything's great, I just feel so good
You know I'm seventy years old
And I'm slurpin' everything through a straw, but I'm an

Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me

Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that
