Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the official music video of John Prine performing "Knockin' On Your Screen Door" from the album "The Tree of Forgiveness"

"Knockin' On Your Screen Door" written by John Prine
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
Everybody's out there climbin' on the trees now
Swingin' in the breeze now, hangin' on the vine
I'm dreamin' 'bout a sailboat, I don't need a fur coat
Underneath the dashboard got some sweet potato wine

[Chorus]
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"

An additional note to my previous comment.. I heard it then read what Was shown and was into the groove of the melody.. it made more
Sense than when I read it before hearing it... but I think it’s true of most songs that have been read before hearing set to the music and reading again..

Is it just me or does John Prine sound kinda like Jerry Jeff Walker?
