My Tennessee Mountain Home

Sitting on the front porch on a summer afternoon

In a straight back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall

Watch the kids a playing with June bugs on a string

And chase the glowing fireflies when evening shadows fall

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

The crickets sing in the fields nearby

Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane

Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet

And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings

An a songbird on a fence post sings a melody

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields nearby

Walking home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love

Just laughing, talking, making future plans

And when the folks ain't looking, you might steal a kiss or two

Sitting in the porch swing, holding hands

In my Tennessee mountain home

Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh

In my Tennessee mountain home

Crickets sing in the fields nearby

(Hummed and whistled outro)
