Presidents Of The United States Of America, The - Back Porch Lyrics






Happy with no teeth
Happy here in hibernation
Slurpin' on a peach
Starin' at the situation
Kitty at my foot
Meowin' out a conversation
Rockin' back and forth
That's my only destination

[Chorus:]
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that old man is me!
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
Old man on the back porch
And that...

Got a two string on my lap
Total subsonic vacation
Got chicken on the drums,
Poundin' out a perfect prescription
Got twenty little worms
I'll plug in some amplification
Got fifteen hundred base drum - lugging bug-eyed monkeys
All arriving at the station

[Chorus]

I'm sitting on the back porch, kickin' my legs back,
rockin' in my rocking chair, and sittin' there
On the little back porch is about to fall apart
So I think I might repair it
Just as I'm thinkin' about repairin' it,
Some little friends come along
with some two-string, one-string, no-string guitars
And they all plug em all in to the back porch
And they sit around playin' all their favorite songs
They's kickin' back feelin' real good,
real fine, real full of the wine
And everything's fine, everything's beautiful,
everything's great, I just feel so good
You know I'm seventy years old
and I'm slurpin' everything through a straw

But I'm an...

[Chorus]

    This album was one of the first ones I bought with my own money. I had just turned 16 and drove around in my stupid-ass Chevy Cavalier blasting these guys. The Presidents carved a slice of memory and time into my heart and I'll always be glad for it.

  19. J.... G....

    Some little friends come along with a two string, one string, no string guitars.
    But what good is a no string guitar?

    J.... G....

    Oh, it's good. It's reeeeeaaaal good.

  25. s.... a....

    good song

  26. N.... R....

    Kinda has a primus feel to it

    N.... R....

    MrRiel66
    I'm not sure if you're aware, but the lead guitar player has the bottom 2 strings replaced with bass guitar strings, I could see personally how that'd contribute to a primus-esque feel

    N.... R....

    Yeah these guys are awesome.

    N.... R....

    Presidents of the United States of America, Primus, and The Violent Femmes, are my favorite jam bands. You can put any of their albums on and listen beginning to end and just enjoy it ya know.

    N.... R....

  27. N.... S....

    godddamn nostring guitars.

  39. A.... R....

    There would be no indie with out the presidents just sayin..

  40. E.... T....

    This song, and naked and famous are by far my favorites, yet it was three others on this album that got played on the radio

  41. a.... ....

    This album and Butthole Surfers' Electric Larryland are the funniest albums I've ever heard. Technically though, this album is much better.

  42. 0.... ....

    i rocked out to this album when it came out in the nintys ,am an old man now and am still rocking out to it,was the soundtrack to my 20's

  43. y.... ....

    My thoughts exactly

  44. T.... ....

    What that bit in the song when to ppl are talk, is on about hitting up?

  45. O.... ....

    The Presidents of the United States of America, commonly referred to as Pot USA or "PUSA" or The Presidents, are a twice Grammy-nominated American alternative rock band. The band formed in Seattle, USA, in 1993. Assuming really just makes an ass out of u and me, look up your facts next time:P

  46. P.... D....

    Check out this Big dude dance to this song!

    /watch?v=fjRSZB8tDnA

  47. a.... ....

    I remember listening to this on my way to my first of of kindergarten, back in '99 me and my brother loved these when we would drive cross country to tennesse to visit the grand parents, now im 18 and i still love them!

  52. m.... ....

  53. r.... ....

    The underdogs of modern music

  54. e.... ....

    I've been a Fan(atic) of theirs since '93... saw 'em on TV and headed straight to the Record Store to find their CD... only found a cassette. Tight group, I read that the Crash-Test Dummies are (were) fans, also.

  55. e.... ....

    I've been a fan (atic) of theirs since '88 when I saw 'em in San Diego... I used to live in Carlsbad.... was 25 yrs. old. Talk about "Tight"... they had the Crash-Test Dummies as "Fans", also.
