We sang porch songs like we were rock stars
                          C               D
We drank cheap beer and tried to make it last
 Cadd4
Then it was back in the car

The coast to the cornfields
                                    C              D
Maybe we were just looking for something else to call ourselves
Cadd4
Rest stop coffee, yeah postcards back home
                      C
Back seat scenes of strange towns
 G                 G
Keep driving on, driving on

In the middle of the night, we took a wrong turn
                                 C                         G
Ended up on a mountain in the pine trees and the moonlit earth
  Cadd4                    C             G
Oh the scattered light, a photograph in mind
  Cadd4           C               G
Of a summer day, squinting at the sun
  C                               G
It's a warm stone, that I carry along
  G
You know I, you know that I
                    C                G
I've been saving quarters, for the toll roads
                  F                    C          G
We can pack the car tonight, we can leave town tomorrow
              C                  G
Put me on a porch swing out in Portland
              F                 C         G
Put me on an F train, roll me back into Brooklyn
   Cadd4
Well we closed the bars, like we were cowboys
                        C                        G
And then we wrote our names in the dirt by the side of the road
  Cadd4
And October came and the winter drew near
                         C                 G
With the cold fingers digging in under the ribs
 Cadd4
But we were campfire girls and we were kicking up the leaves
                                        C                 G
And we returned to our jobs with our clothes smelling of wood-smoke
  Cadd4                     C            G
Oh the scattered light, a photograph in mind
   Cadd4             C              G
Of a summer day, squinting at the sun
  Cadd4                  C        G
It's a warm stone, that I carry along
  G
You know I, you know that I
                    C               G
I've been saving quarters, for the toll roads
                 F                     C           G

                C                 G
Put me on a porch swing out in Portland

We sang porch songs like we were rock stars

We drank cheap beer and tried to make it last
