Front Porch Serenade Lyrics

by Shane Alexander

Here I stand with my hat in my hands
Want to ask out to go and see the band
Where the music is sweet and we can sway to the beat
And I can hold you so close to me

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e70203-shane_alexander~front_porch_serenade_lyrics.html ]
But your mama said I had to have you home in bed
By a half past ten if I wanna see you again
So we don't have much time – they gonna start up at nine
If we leave right now we're gonna be just fine

So honey won't jump into my truck
And honey won't you kiss me once for luck
We're gonna have a hell of a time

First time I saw you smile I could see you walking down the isle
With flowers in your hair and your mama standin' there
Some day you'll be my wife, be the one to share my life
Gonna have us a child, we'll be happy all the while

So honey won't jump into my truck
And honey won't you kiss me once for luck
We're gonna have a hell of a time

Gonna hold you close and never let you go

Gonna buy that little house the one you've always dreamed about
Gonna ride the ol' porch swing, I wanna give you everything

So here I stand with my hat in my hands
Want to ask out to go and see the band

So honey won't jump into my truck
And honey won't you kiss me once for luck
We're gonna have a hell of a time

Gonna hold you close and never let you go
Gonna hold you close and never let you go
