Knockin' On Your Screen Door Lyrics - John Prine

I ain't got nobody hangin' 'round my doorstep 

Ain't got no loose change just a-hangin' 'round my jeans 

If you see somebody, would you send em' over my way? 

I could use some help here with a can of pork and beans 

I once had a family but they up and left me 

With nothing but an 8-track, another side of George Jones 

I was in high cotton, just a-bangin' on my six-string 

A-kickin' at the trash can, walkin' skin and bone 

I can see your back porch 

If I close my eyes now 

I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line 

I'm thinking it's your business 

But you don't got to answer 

I'm knocking on your screen door 

In the summertime

Everybody's out there 

Climbin' on the trees now 

Swinging in the breeze now, 

Hanging on the vine 

I'm dreamin' 'bout a sailboat 

I don't need a fur coat 

Underneath the dashboard 

Got some sweet potato wine

I can see your back porch 

if I close my eyes now 

I can hear the train tracks through the laundry on the line 

I'm thinking it's your business 

But you don't got to answer 

I'm knocking on your screen door 

In the summertime 

I'm knocking on your screen door 

In the summertime
