[Verse 1]
Old screen door
Squeaks, then sighs
You slide that chair
Right next to mine
Thick smoke curls
In the last of the light
Your laugh hits first
Then the fireflies
[Chorus]
We got cigars and bourbon on the back porch
Letting that long day fade
Talking ’bout the trouble and the good years
Every dumb mistake we made
Blues in the speakers, soul in our voices
Jazz in the way time moves
Just me and my old man sharing
That back porch blues
[Verse 2]
You say, “Boy
You remember that truck?”
Bent front fender
But we called it luck
We toast to nights
We barely got through
You stare ahead
I just watch you
[Chorus]
We got cigars and bourbon on the back porch
Letting that long day fade
Talking ’bout the trouble and the good years
Every dumb mistake we made
Blues in the speakers, soul in our voices
Jazz in the way time moves
Just me and my old man sharing
That back porch blues
[Bridge]
You take a slow draw
I take your old phrases
Turn ’em over in my head
Like worn-out pages
You say, “One day
You’ll be right where I’m at”
I smile in the dark
Say, “I know about that” (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
We got cigars and bourbon on the back porch
Letting that long day fade
Talking ’bout the trouble and the good years
Every dumb mistake we made
Blues in the speakers, soul in our voices
Jazz in the way time moves
Just me and my old man holding
These back porch blues
