This song poem lyric came from a dream that I had some years ago. Amazingly, this dream had everything to it, the musical melodies floating in the breeze, the rainbow trout splashing out in the pond, and of course the rocking chair rocking and creeking on the porch. Where ever this place was, it must have been a magnificent sight for travelers to view from the road. In 2007 I had this made into a demo by Nashville Song Service. Nashville Song Service created an absolutely great demo for it captures the feeling and sounds that I described to them that was in the dream. www.nashvillesongservice.com
OLD MAN ROCKING ON THE PORCH (Verse 1) Look there is this old man Sitting out on the porch Rocking out on the porch Out there in the rippling pond The huge rainbow trout are jumping out Out on the highway beyond The travelers are looking about ( Chorus (Verse 2) Look there is this old man Sitting out on his porch Gazing out at his land Rocking out on his porch Across the field there is a stirring breeze He’s listening to the radio and the melodies Sounds on the radio floating in the breeze He’s absorbed in listening to the melodies (Chorus) There he is rocking away Sitting out there on his porch He’s rocking the day away Rocking out on his porch Sitting there as time will fly As he watches the world go bye

Truly a "catchy" song, Stephen. I wish I could hear it played with music. Thanks for sharing. Love and peace to you,

I've heard music and songs from the Appalachians, and this would be a fun one--banjo, guitar, fiddle. Paints a moving picture of classic Americana.
