(with Roger Creager)

G Em
This old porch is just a big ol' red and white Hereford bull
C D
Standin' under a mesquite tree out in Agua Dulce
G Em
He just keeps on playing hide and seek with that hot August sun
C D G
He's sweatin' and a pantin' cause his work is never done
Em
Oh no
C D
He's got them cows and that red top cane
This old porch is just a steaming greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions and a' guacomole salad
You can get at the La Salle Hotel in old downtown
With ice tea and a waitress who will smile everytime
Yea she will
I left a quarter tip on my ten dollar bill
(Roger)
This old porch is a palace walk-in on the main stream Texas
It ain't ever seen or heard the day of G & R and X's
With the '62 poster that's almost faded down
And a screen with out a picture since Giant came to town
Oh no,
I love them pretty girls and rocky mountains
G Em
Well this song was written by Mr. Robert Earl Keen Jr. and Lyle Lovett
C D
Right here in college station texas, and when they finished this song they said it was the
G Em
perfect country western song. But they hadn’t said anything at all about Texas Aggies or
C D
pretty girls with big ol’ pickup trucks, or rainy nights, making love on feather beds,
C D G
getting drunk, barnyard animals, it should go something like this
Well he’s bowing down, oh baby you looking do to something, yeah we come to do what they say cant be done
(Cory)
G Em C D
Long way to go and a short time to get there, I’ll see you when you come on back for
G
good
(Roger)
What the hell was that? I’ll say this, I was drunk the day my mom got outta
prison and I went to pick her up in the rain. Yea but before I got to the
station in my pickup truck, she got run over by a damned old train
Yeah I’ll hang around, as long as you will let me, I never minded standing in
the rain. You don’t have to call me darling, Cory Morrow
