Lyrics
<instrumental intro, 8 to 16 bars, fingerstyle>
Screen porch summer evening the day’s work is through
I’m stretched out, relaxing, and glad to be near you.
I pick out a melody on three strings or two
You doodle in a sketch book. We each do our do.
Who suffers pain tonight I would relieve.
From sorrow simple pleasures offer reprieve.
Who says life is not worth the upkeep to get by
Should hang out on my porch, let stars fill his eye.
<instrumental>
Screen porch summer evening the day’s work is through
I’m stretched out, relaxing, and glad to be near you.
