Porch Honky
Moccasin Creek Lyrics

Porch honky sittin' on my porch swing
Waitin' on that sunset to hear a coyote sing
But in the mean time it's the same routine
Sweet tea in my beat up jeans
Charlie Bonnus? on the six string pickin' a tune
Tracy Stone doin' his thing skinnin' a coon
Dogs on the porch laid out by my feet
And every bodies head starts bobbin' to the beat
Cars drive by lookin' at us kinda' funny
Just some old porch honkies ain't got no money
Crops in the back yard chickens in the front
Slingshot shootin' beer cans off that stump
And the black smoke comin' from the smoker dinner times close
Yesterdays hide hangin' right on the post
Kick back rockin' chair yeah we keep it funky
And that's the definition of an old porch honky

Hangin' out I ain't gotta do a damn thing
But sit right here all day on my porch swing
Drink a few take a chew kick it with my honkies
Might get drunk and start actin' like a donkey
Moccasin Creek feet bare like my pockets
Conners on the porch and he's shootin' bottle rockets
CB3's hummin' us a brand new song
He's said yeah... it won't be long
Until we wake up in the morning and we do it again
Yeah we're fron porch coolin', covered in tin
The sun is beatin' down on my cowboy hat
My voice is gettin' hoarse my beer is never flat
I'm looking for my rifle I found my .45
I raised it in the air shot it high in the sky
Nobody asked why they just looked and grinned
Yeah them old porch honkies man they're at it again

All day long
All day long
Porch honky doin' fine
Livin' life one day at a time

One day at a time

"Porch Honky" by Moccasin Creek is a classic country song that centers around the love for porch sitting. The lyrics talk about the simple life of sitting on the porch, drinking sweet tea, and enjoying the company of friends. The term "porch honky" refers to someone who spends most of their time just sitting on the porch and taking life one day at a time. The singer is not worried about the stress of the outside world; instead, he is content with his laid-back lifestyle.

The lyrics also depict the scene of a typical porch gathering amongst a group of friends in the countryside. The scene includes the sound of coyotes singing at sunset, playing country music while hanging out, and shooting beer cans with a slingshot. The friends are not concerned with their lack of wealth, instead focusing on enjoying each other's company and having a good time. The simple and laid-back lifestyle portrayed in the song serves as a reminder to enjoy the simple things in life and not to take everything too seriously.

Porch honky I been known
I'm the type of person who loves to spend time on my porch

To sit on my porch all day long
I love to sit on my porch for hours at a time

Porch honky in my swing
I like to sit on my porch swing

And I ain't worried about a thing
I'm totally content and have no worries at all

Porch honky all I need
All I really need in life is my porch and sweet tea

Is a big old glass of cold sweet tea
The only thing I need to make me happy is a tall, cold glass of sweet tea

Porch honky doin' fine
I'm doing great spending my days on my porch

Livin' life one day at a time
I take life as it comes and enjoy each day as it happens

One two three
This chorus is just a simple counting rhyme

One day at a time
I don't worry about the future, I just live in the present and take things one day at a time
