[Verse 1]
Sittin' on the front porch
With a cold one in my hand
People watchin' (Watchin')
A young couple on the corner
Lookin' like forever
And sweet talkin' (Talkin')

[Verse 2]
There's an old man with a cane
I think Jethro is his name
He's havin' a little trouble while he's street crossin'
But I'm not going nowhere
I'm just sittin' right here
People watchin'

[Verse 3]
Miss Tina in her tight dress
High heels on, oh, I guess
She's going downtown (Downtown)
The old men all aflutter
Elbowing each other
When she comes around (Comes around)

[Verse 4]
Mmh, mmh, oh I think my beer is getting low
Why does that seem to happen to me so often?
But I ain't going nowhere
I'm just sitting right here
People watchin'
[Refrain]
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got a song
I could sit here forever
While the parade keeps marching on and on and on
All alone, people watchin'

[Break]

[Refrain]
Everybody's got a story
Everybody's got a song
I could sit here forever
While the parade keeps marching on and on and on
All alone, people watchin'

[Outro]
I said, "Wonder if there's someone watching me while
I'm people watchin'"
It's better than anything that's on TV
People watchin'
