Track Insight / Lyrics
Morning light hits peeling paint
Regulars gone, ain't that a saint
Grease stains on my wooden arms
Coffee rings like false alarms
Screen's torn loose, flapping loud
Projector's dead, lost in cloud
But I hold the night's last show
Rocking slow, rocking slow
I'm the porch rocker, lord of the lot
Summer's gone but I forgot
Screen's just rags on a metal frame
Rocking steady, still the same
Neon buzz died years ago
Moths don't dance in the afterglow
Order up, the night shift's done
Hash browns cold beneath the sun
Speaker wires chewed by time
Silence hums a lullaby rhyme
But I hold the night's last show
Rocking slow, rocking slow
I'm the porch rocker, lord of the lot
Summer's gone but I forgot
Screen's just rags on a metal frame
Rocking steady, still the same
Teenage lovers carved their names
Initials deep in weathered grains
Ketchup packets, foil wrappers too
Trash left behind by me and you
I'm the porch rocker, lord of the lot
Summer's gone but I forgot
Screen's just rags on a metal frame
Rocking steady, still the same
Winter wind shakes my slats loose
Spring brings pollen, no excuse
Summer tourists snap a pic
Tag the location, call it chic
I'm the porch rocker, lord of the lot
Summer's gone but I forgot
Screen's just rags on a metal frame
Rocking steady, still the same
Now the county wants the land
Bulldozers wait at my command
But I'll rock until the final nail
Coffee's hot, the pie's for sale
I'm the porch rocker, lord of the lot
Summer's gone but I forgot
Screen's just rags on a metal frame
Rocking steady, still the same
Creak and sway, another day
Dust settles on the silver screen
Still rocking when the grass grows green
