[Verse 1]
Sittin’ on the front porch on a summer afternoon
In a straight-back chair on two legs, leaned against the wall
Watch the kids a-playin’ with Junebugs on a string
And catch the glowin’ fireflies when evening shadows fall

[Chorus]
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

[Verse 2]
Honeysuckle vines cling to the fence along the lane
Their fragrance makes the summer wind so sweet
And on a distant hilltop, an eagle spreads its wings
And a songbird on a fencepost sings a melody

[Chorus]
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

[Verse 3]
Walkin’ home from church on Sunday with the one ya love
Just laughin’, talkin’, makin’ future plans
And when the folks ain’t lookin’, you might steal a kiss or two
Just 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 singin’ in the fields nearby

In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby’s sigh
In my Tennessee mountain home
Crickets singin’ in the fields nearby

Oh, in my Tennessee mountain home…
