Just a swinging! Swinging!



"Swinging" by John Anderson


There's a little girl in our neighborhood
Her name is Charlotte Johnson and she's really looking good
I had to go and see her, so I called her on the phone
I walked over to her house, and this was going on
Her brother was on the sofa eating chocolate pie
Her momma was in the kitchen cutting chicken up to fry
Her daddy was in the backyard rolling up a garden hose

I was on the porch with Charlotte feeling love down to my toes

And we were swinging yes we were swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging

Yes we were swinging yes we were swinging
Little Charlotte she's as pretty as the angels when they sing
I can't believe I'm out here on the front porch in this swing
Just a-swinging
***If you've never heard John Anderson's "Swinging" you should check it out. It's a classic country song. I think of this song every time I see Manning swinging for hours upon hours. Why, do you ask. Well, the song has a really annoying chorus and every time I hear the song I spend the rest of the day walking around singing "Just a swinging!!!" all day long. So, I've decided this is his theme song for when he's a swinging. He loves his swing and it was the best investment I ever made. In the bottom picture he is finally big enough to reach out and grab the toy on the tray, but once he found it he never let go and was hanging on for dear life!
