I wrote the first verse of this song while I was staying in Florence, Al. We were living downtown, and on Saturday nights a lot of folks came to town to whoop it up. We could hear everything that was going on outside our window. And that inspired the first verse...

lyrics

Front porch sweatin,’ playin’ hard to get in a small town, Saturday night.
Drinking whiskey and beer, trying to disappear ‘neath the buzz of neon lights.
Wishin’ I was anywhere else than the place that I call home.
Ooh, I wish I was gone. (x2)

Call it bad luck. Call it what you want.
But things didn’t go my way.
Another lost cause. Stray dog.
They say, “Every dream has its day.” (x2)

Front porch sweatin…

It’s not my fault. Huh, that ain’t true.
We all deserve a little blame.
Some get less. Some give more.
To folks like me, it’s all the same. (x2)

Front porch sweatin…

For a little bit of trouble ya’catch a whole lotta hell.
Leaves you staring up from a deep, dark well.
Nights grow long, and the days get cold,
Then you’re six feet down.
You’re six feet down.
If you could have back just one thing
What would, what would you choose?
That forgotten cause, them old stray dogs,
Or an offer that you refused?

Front porch sweatin…
