It sure is nice
Sittin` on this porch
Pickin` these old time songs
No matter how far
I get from here
This place still feels like home
Remember all those summer nights
We`d talk about life and such
Well Dad, I`ve come to realize
I haven`t said enough
Chorus
Thanks for the G chord
Teachin` me about the good Lord
Givin` me that old Ford
When I turned sixteen
Thanks for hangin` in there
When I was goin` nowhere
Thanks for never
Changin` that lock on the front door
Thanks for the G chord
That flat top Martin
You gave me back then
You know I`ve still got it now
I keep it locked up
In that same ol` case
You used to tote around
Sometimes when the crowd is quiet
I`ll bring it out again
And play the first song you taught me
Back when I was ten
Chorus
Thanks for hangin` in there
When I was goin` nowhere
Thanks for never
Changin` that lock on the front door
Thanks for the G chord
