Rocking Chair by Karla Davis Lyrics

In this old rocking chair
I've seen a lot of things
I've seen a world pass by with the breeze
Of a summer rain
I've seen lightning strike, mmm
Never the same place twice
All from the front porch view
In the middle of this blessing I call life

And all I need to hear is the whistle of the freight train blowing by
All I have to know is I got what I need right here beside me
Yes, the little things in life, it bring
Happiness money can't buy
Mmm, in this rocking chair of mine

Give me a glass of sweet tea, mmm
And a piece of pecan pie
And I'll be fine
Just like the sunset of a patient southern sky, mmm

I can't explain it
No sense in wasting my time
It's a simple kind
Of living life, so fine
'Cause all you need to hear is the whistle of the freight train blowing by, mmm
All you have to know is you got what you need right here beside you
Yes, the little things in life, it bring
Happiness money can't buy
Mmm, in this rocking chair

And what I have
It don't make who I am
But if it did, I would be
The best friend in the world
Love flying high
In a string of mama's pearls
A memory in the making
Oh, my daddy's saying
Just one thing, oh

All you need to hear is the whistle of the freight train blowing by
All you have to know is you got what you need right here beside you
Yes, the little things in life, it bring
Happiness money can't buy
Mmm, in that old rocking chair of mine
