HE'S THE KIND EVERY FATHER WANTS FOR HIS DAUGHTER
ON HER WHITE DRESS IS THE RED ROSE HE BROUGHT HER
HE TREATS HER KIND AND POLITE
ALWAYS KISSED HER GENTLE WHEN THEY KISSED GOODNIGHT
NO SNEAKIN IN THE BACK DOOR BEFORE MORNING LIGHT

OH NO IT'S A FRONT PORCH LOVE
THE KIND THIS WORLD DONT GET TO SEE MUCH OF
MAKING PLANS ON THE FRONT PORCH SWING
TILL IT SNOWS IT STARTS AGAIN IN SPRING
WHEN IT'S NOT SO COLD ~ FRONT PORCH LOVE

THEY FOUND A SMALL TWO BEDROOM TO RENT
AND ON HER RING HE SPENT HIS LAST CENT
THEY DONT REALLY NEED WHAT THIS WEDDING IS FOR
THEY'RE ALREADY JOINED IN THE EYES OF THE LORD
AFTER ALL HE'S THE AUTHOR OF FRONT PORCH LOVE

IT'S OF OLD FRONT PORCH LOVE
THE KIND OF LOVE THE OLD FOLKS SPEAK OF
BUILT TO LAST YEARS AND YEARS SURVIVE THE TRIALS GET PAST THE TEARS
IN THE END IT SHINES LIKE GOLD ~ FRONT PORCH LOVE

I'VE BEEN TOLD ~ FRONT PORCH LOVE
IT DONT FOLD ~ FRONT PORCH LOVE ~ FRONT PORCH LOVE
