Collective Soul - Porch Swing Lyrics
Everybody swears, they care, they share
Opinions I don't wanna hear
Everybody lies then tries to hide
Underneath their social fears
Wanting peace for one and all
I am just a comedy in life's symphony
Listening for some resolve
So, I won't mind, mind when you're gone
No, I won't mind, mind when you're gone
I'll just be here on my porch swing
Rocking all day long
Everybody's bruised from news that use
Everybody needs to bleed to see
We're all humans after all
I am made of simple thread, a common man
Wanting peace for one and all
I am just a comedy in life's symphony
Listening for some resolve
So, I won't mind, mind when you're gone
No, I won't mind, mind when you're gone
I'll just be here on my porch swing
Rocking all day long
Let the summer breeze
Cool our needs, right or wrong
Let tomorrow bring
Love to move us on
'Til then, I'll be here on my porch swing
Rocking all day long
I'll just be here on my porch swing
'Til I write the next song
Rocking on my porch swing
All night long
Rocking on my porch swing
All night long
Rocking on my porch swing
All night long

The lyrics, tune, style, quality and so forth, there is no other band can replace CS, they are one of a kind.
I am made a simple threat, a common man, wanting peace for once and all, OHHHH MANNN. Your d man whom put up the lyrics of ds beautiful/wonderful song.
I'm a fan of Collective soul for years the band is awesome, too bad they haven't come to Brazil yet =/
I don't know who does your promotion work, but I think they should be getting "Porch Swing" a lot more air time Damn fine song.
Awesome thing about CS is the hard hitting guitars that feed our need to GO. And then songs like Porch Swing that are good for Our Soul.
Great song after great song after great song = Collective Soul
The band played in Trinidad on Saturday Sept 14th, and did this live for the very first time. Wish I had recorded it, but was too busy enjoying the show. It's one of the best tracks on Blood.
Hope this is released as a single!!!!
Mr. Tommy Shaw guesting with some mandolin and dobro licks
I love you guys forever and so true
Love love LOVE.
It's been a long time since I just played a single track over and over. Quintessential CS!
This song by Collective Soul has some politics in the lyrics. Its mostly about the overheated debate between those who want to protect Americas traditions and those progressive liberals who want to change everything: ITS MOSTLY ABOUT THE RACE RIOTS IN CHAROLETTESVILLE, BLACK LIVES MATTER AND THE METOO MOVEMENT. Theres some political, religious and social discontent from some of the newer Collective Soul songs , to be honest
"those who want to protect Americas [sic] traditions"...a truly wonderful way of saying that certain white people should rule the country, and be able to fuckover anyone they want. If only we could still beat, whip and kill people whenever we wanted...
Ignore the troll, just enjoy the music
Happy birthday to me
Any english Speaker should comment lyrics please
I truly think this is the best rock ballad csoul ever wrote.
Hope they release this as a single...
Ed is a great lyricist. When I met him in 2015, he thanked me for 22 years of support. I was all about, no, thank you for the 22 years of awesomeness! I’ve loved you from day one!

I just found out this and TOOL albums released simultaneously make 2019 a great year
August 30th 🤘🏻😎
Tool?...
both awesome bands
The guitar riff in the beginning reminded me of their song 'After All'. The vocal is A though in this.
I agree a few songs bring back the 5th album to mind.
One of my top 3 tracks from the album. Easily captures the flavor of CS music at its best. Not too harsh to my ears. Cool sound, moves my body, I just need to raise my arms, and hold a lighter in my hands!
Love the vocals in this one
