Knockin' On Your Screen Door

Lyrics
I ain't got nobody Hangin' round my doorstep Ain't got no loose change Just a hangin' round my jeans If you see somebody Would you send em' over my way I could use some help here With a can of pork and beans I once had a family But they up and left me With nothing but an 8-track Another side of George Jones I was in high cotton Just a bangin' on my six string A kickin' at the trash can Walkin' skin and bone I can see your back porch If I close my eyes now I can hear the train tracks Through the laundry on the line I'm thinking it's your business But you don't gotta answer I'm knocking on your screen door In the summertime Everybodies out there Climbing on the trees now Swinging in the breeze now Hanging on the vine I'm dreaming 'bout a sailboat I don't need a fur coat Underneath a dashboard Got some sweet potato wine I can see your back porch If I close my eyes now I can hear the train tracks Through the laundry on the line I'm thinkin' it's your business But you don't got to answer I'm knockin' on your screen door In the summertime I'm knockin' on your screen door In the summertime
