(Written by: Ronnie Bowman, Russell Johnson, and Sammy Shelor)
In an old country town, where the river flows
Lived a simple kind of people, who nobody knows
Down by the railroad tracks, in a weathered home
Lived an old man and his wife, all alone
(Chorus)
They'd sit on their front porch, and watch the world go by
In their old country town, beneath a starlit sky
They'd reminisce about their past, and the life they led
In their old country town, till they both were dead
(Verse 2)
He was a coal miner, she worked hard at home
Raising a family, on what little they known
They were rich in love, and strong in their faith
And they held on to each other, through it all
(Chorus)
They'd sit on their front porch, and watch the world go by
In their old country town, beneath a starlit sky
They'd reminisce about their past, and the life they led
In their old country town, till they both were dead
(Bridge)
Through good times and bad, they stood side by side
Through laughter and tears, their love never died
And when the final days, drew near to them both
They went together, in the land beyond
(Chorus)
They'd sit on their front porch, and watch the world go by
In their old country town, beneath a starlit sky
They'd reminisce about their past, and the life they led
In their old country town, till they both were dead
