(Dolly Parton)      Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon   In a straightback chair on two legs, leans against the wall   Watch the kids a' playin' with June bugs on a string   And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall.      Chorus:    In my Tennessee mountain home   Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh   In my Tennessee mountain home   Crickets sing in the fields near by.      Honeysuckle vine clings to the fence along the lane   Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet   And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings   An' a songbird on a fence post sings a melody.      Chorus:    In my Tennessee mountain home   Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh   In my Tennessee mountain home   Crickets sing in the fields near by.      --- Instrumental ---      Walkin' home from church on a Sunday with the one ya' love   Just laughin', talkin', making future plans   And when the folks ain't lookin', you might steal a kiss or two   Sittin' in the porch swing, holdin' hands.      Chorus:    In my Tennessee mountain home   Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh   In my Tennessee mountain home   Crickets sing in the fields near by...
