Sorry folks, it's a song lyric kinda day...
Earlier in the summer I made a post about how a song can define your summer. Usually for me it ends up being a rap song of some sort, such as Aww Naww~Nappy Roots. This summer I've been in a country sorta mood since the only decent station in H-town have been ripped from their place on the dial. At the time of that post I thought my defining song of summer 2003 was going to be Almost Home...turns out it ended up being My Front Porch Looking In (aka the sippy cup song). Jessica and I decided that if Lonestar can make a hit out of a song about sippy cups then we are destined to be famous one day with our Tex-Appeal ;) Of course a few more hits of the summer I'll remember are Brokenheartsville, What was I thinkin, and 99.9% sure 'I've never been here before'.
The only ground I ever owned was sticking to my shoes
Now I look at my front porch and this panoramic view
I can sit and watch the fields fill up
With rays of glowing sun
Or watch the moon lay on the fences
Like that's where it was hung
My blessings are in front of me
It's not about the land
I'll never beat the view
From my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
And the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in, yeah
I've traveled here and everywhere
Following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air
Brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home
To the one he made for me
It's anywhere I'll ever go and everywhere I've been
Nothing takes my breath away
Like my front porch looking in
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
Is my front porch looking in
I see what beautiful is about
When I'm looking in
Not when I'm looking out
There's a carrot top who can barely walk
With a sippy cup of milk
A little blue eyed blonde with shoes on wrong
'Cause she likes to dress herself
And the most beautiful girl holding both of them
Yeah the view I love the most
