Verse

              G                      C
I ain’t got nobody hangin’ ’round my doorstep.
             G                                    D
Ain’t got no loose change just a-hangin’ round my jeans.
           G                                 C
If you see somebody, would you send ’em over my way?
                 G        D                       G
I could use some help here with a can of pork and beans.

Verse

             G                       C
I once had a family, but they up and left me
                    G                               D
with nothin’ but an 8-track, another side of George Jones.
              G                            C
I was in high cotton, just a bangin’ on my six string,
                 G         D                 G
A-kickin’ at the trash can, walkin’ skin and bones.

Chorus

               C                        G
I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now.
               G                                       D
I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line.
                       G                              C
I’m thinkin’ it’s your business, but you don’t got to answer
                     G          D             G
I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.

Verse

            G                         C
Everybody’s out there climbin’ on the trees now,
                G                          D
Swingin’ in the breeze now, hanging on the vine.
                     G                        C
I’m dreamin’ ‘bout a sailboat. I don’t need a fur coat.
               G         D                      G
Underneath the dashboard, got some sweet potato wine.

Chorus

               C                        G
I can see your back porch if I close my eyes now.
               G                                       D
I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line.
                       G                              C
I’m thinking it’s your business, but you don’t got to answer
                     G          D             G
I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.
                     G          D             G     D G
I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.
