“Knockin’ on Your Screen Door” by John Prine from the album The Tree of Forgiveness Capo on 2nd fret [Intro] [Verse] 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] I once had a family but they up and left me with nothin’ 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 bones. [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 thinkin’ it’s your business but you don’t got to answer I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime. [Instrumental]              [Verse] Everybody’s out there climbin’ on the trees now Swingin’ 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. [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 knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime. I’m knockin’ on your screen door in the summertime.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la solitude d'une personne qui se sent abandonnée et nostalgique. Le narrateur se remémore un temps où il avait une famille et des moments heureux, mais se retrouve aujourd'hui à chercher un peu de connexion humaine. Il rêve doucement d'un été paisible, d'une terrasse qui invite à la conversation, tout en écoutant le bruit d'un train au loin. Dans un tableau de vie quotidienne, il évoque des souvenirs de liberté et de simplicité, de balançoires et de rêves de navigation sur un bateau, mais il est toujours là, à frapper à la porte de quelqu'un pour ressentir un lien.
