[Intro]
A
[Verse]
A D I ain’t got nobody hangin’ ’round my doorstep. A E Ain’t got no loose change just a-hangin’ round my jeans. A D If you see somebody, would you send ’em over my way? A E A I could use some help here with a can of pork and beans.
[Verse]
A D I once had a family, but they up and left me A E with nothin’ but an 8-track, another side of George Jones. A D I was in high cotton, just a bangin’ on my six string, A E A A-kickin’ at the trash can, walkin’ skin and bones.
[Chorus]
D A I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now. A E I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line. A D I’m thinkin’ it’s your business, but you don’t got to answer A E A I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.
[Instrumental]
A D A E
[Verse]
A D Everybody’s out there climbin’ on the trees now, A E Swingin’ in the breeze now, hanging on the vine. A D I’m dreamin’ ‘bout a sailboat. I don’t need a fur coat. A E A Underneath the dashboard, got some sweet potato wine.
[Chorus]
D A I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now. A E I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line. A D I’m thinking it’s your business, but you don’t got to answer A E A I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime. A E A E A I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.
