[Verse 1]
G Cadd9 G A
Well hello friendly neighbors, Its a beautiful day in town
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I got a buick and a beagle we'll go riding round
G Cadd9 G A
Toss em back at the VFW, I got a personalized bowling ball
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Porter Wagner signed my silvertone, its hanging on my wall
G Cadd9 G A
Theres a rattle in my glove box from a federal twelve guage slug
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
I'm drinking whataburger coffee from a wooden nickel mug
G Cadd9 D A
The static on the AM is bleeding right in time
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Its old Tom T singing about the watermelon wine
D A G Cadd9
Old dogs and Children, Watermelon wine

[Verse 2]
G Cadd9 G A
Well I don't like my nephew, he always hangs around
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
His jacket smells like reafer, he puts my music down
G Cadd9 D A
He says he is a poet, but his words don't even rhyme
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
He'll never see my silvertone that ole Porter Wagner signed
G Cadd9 G A
Well he's asleep there in the living room, as lost as lost can be
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
His daddy threw him out last week, he's staying here with me
G Cadd9 G A
Seems no one can reach him, but God knows that I've tried
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Maybe he'd like to see my Silvertone that ole Porter Wagner signed

[Verse 3]
G Cadd9 G A
So you know I took it off the wall, and I placed it in his hands
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
It may not be much to him but I think he might understand
G Cadd9 D A
He stared as blank as Sunday, with just these words to say
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Just who the hell is this guy, Porter Wagner anyway
D A G Cadd9
Its a gap in generations of a delusional design
G Cadd9 G A
Hand me down my reading glasses, a sign of the times
D A G Cadd9
Youth it fades and pays in spades, till you way outlived your prime
G Cadd9 G Cadd9
Would you like to see my silvertone, that ole Porter Wagner signed
G Cadd9 G A
Damn right, its a silvertone that ole Porter Wagner signed.
