about

Join Mike Kuster for a mint julep and a swing on the front porch in small town America at midnight. Soak up the sounds, smells, and sights to sooth your soul and wind down before you rest for the night.

lyrics

Front porch swing, mint julep in my hand
the quiet of midnight in a small town land
Ain't nothing better in this whole wide world
Makes your worries fade and it calms your nerves

Nothing made by pharma ever works like this
You'll be ready for tomorrow with a few more sips
So take a little break watch the world go by
As you sway to the rhythm of times gone by on that

Front porch swing, mint julep in your hand
In the quiet of midnight in a small town land
Hear the crickets sing, watch lightning bugs dance
The chorus of the peepers put you in a trance

The mountain and the river bring a gentle breeze
Cuts through the heat, it’s just what you need
While you take a little break before you go to bed
As your mind drifts away far from your head on that

Front porch swing, mint julep in your hand
In the quiet of midnight in a small town land
So sip it while you're swaying, take some deep long breaths
Soak up the silence and melt into the ease

While you're on that
Front porch swing, mint julep in your hand
In the quiet of midnight in any small town land
Trust in the magic of your little home town
And life’s simple pleasures on a front porch swing
