Out On The Patio

Verse 1

Screen door slams behind me

Heat comes off the brick

Ice cubes in a tall glass

Cherry on a popsicle stick

Got the radio turned up low

Frets are hummin' inside

Waiting on the sun to drop

Down past the county line

Pre-Chorus

Yeah I worked the whole week over

Every muscle's sore and sore

Now the work boots are off my feet

And I ain't goin' anywhere no more

Chorus

Out on the patio

Where the crickets sing their song

Out on the patio

Where nothing moves too long

Just a cold one and a warm breeze

And the stars coming on strong

Out on the patio

Verse 2

Neighbor's dog comes wanderin' by

Tongue hanging happy and loose

I toss him half a preht-sell

He don't care about the juice

Chairs are faded green and gray

Kudzu crawlin' up the fence

Got a dented grill and a burned-out bulb

And it all just makes some sense

Pre-Chorus

Yeah the phone is ringing somewhere

Could be trouble could be news

But I'm planted in this plastic chair

Ain't got nothing left to lose

Chorus

Out on the patio

Where the crickets sing their song

Out on the patio

Where nothing moves too long

Just a cold one and a warm breeze

And the stars coming on strong

Out on the patio

Bridge

Old pick-up rumbles past the drive

Dust cloud floats on by

Fireflies flicker in the yard

Like sparks against the sky

And I tip my hat to nothin' much

And I'm thankful that I'm me

Out here where the grass is patchy

And the world is plain and free

Chorus

Out on the patio

Where the crickets sing their song

Out on the patio

Where nothing moves too long

Just a cold one and a warm breeze

And the stars coming on strong

Out on the patio

Out on the patio
