I'm Gonna Sit On My Porch And Pick On My Ol' Guita

Johnny Cash


I'm gonna sit on the porch and pick on my ol' guitar 
I'm gonna lay on my back and laugh at my lucky star 
And then I'm gonna fly away and never come back someday 
Unless I thought I was gonna land right close to where you are 

Well if I thought anybody cared I'd send back word 
Strapped to the leg of a transcelestial bird 
I wonder if I really ever did leave 
how many would there be to grieve 
How would they react to the word 

Well I wouldn't ever want to hurt a solitary soul 
I have still got all 6
'
2 in control 
But when my obligation's low is a greasy uphill road 
And pleasin' everybody but me is my first goal 
I want to sit on my porch and pick on my ol' guitar 
And just hope your hangin' loose where ever you are 
And for the joy you brought to me 
this song I sung for thee 
While I sit on my porch and pick on my ol' guitar
