Front Porch Ride or Die

Pulled up late in a dusty Ford

Three deep, plus a dog on board

Mud on the tires, gas on E

Still we riding like it’s VIP

Same boys from the school bus seats

Turned into my midnight street-piece fleet

If I’m dead broke, they break that stack

“Pay me later” written on a paper sack

Good friends ride in the bad weather

Windows down, we sing together

Through the broke days, long nights, hard times

They’re my front porch, peace of mind

When the world goes cold, they keep that fire

Talk me down when my fuse gets wired

Good friends, good friends, that’s my wealth

If I got them, I don’t need else (oh yeah)

One got married, one did time

One moved off, still hits my line

Group text buzzing like a July night

Jokes so wrong but they feel so right

They’ve seen me drunk, they’ve seen me cry

Pulled me back when I crossed that line

If I call “come through,” they ain’t asking why

They just show up, tailgate, headlights

Good friends ride in the bad weather

Windows down, we sing together

Through the broke days, long nights, hard times

They’re my front porch, peace of mind

When the world goes cold, they keep that fire

Talk me down when my fuse gets wired

Good friends, good friends, that’s my wealth

If I got them, I don’t need else (hey!)

If I fall, they fall in beside me

Laughing, “boy, you know you’re stuck with us”

When I win, they louder than I am

Yelling my name from the back of the truck

Good friends ride in the bad weather

Windows down, we sing together

Through the broke days, long nights, hard times

They’re my front porch, peace of mind

When the world goes cold, they keep that fire

Talk me down when my fuse gets wired

Good friends, good friends, that’s my wealth

If I got them, I don’t need else
