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
