The homegrown sound of Moccasin Creek is the most progressive and raw voice to hit the music scene since Hank Williams Jr and Jamey Johnson. No softly crooning southern gentlemen here, just good ole boys from the scrubs of Palatka, Florida and Nashville, Tennessee. This is the real south and it isnβt pretty. Dismantling the current crop of gentlemen and sweethearts, they feed the intense craving for hard-lined lyrics depicting hard-lived lives. When you hear fist-punch poetry blended with knuckle-grinding guitar, you know youβre staring down the barrel of Moccasin Creek.

Charlie Bonnet III (βCB3β)

There is nothing subtle about his playing style. He is wide open from start to finish. A former front man and founder of the Heavy Metal Band Disarray, Charlieβs roots are in playing hard and heavy.

Porch Honky
Moccasin Creek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To sit on my porch all day long
Porch honky in my swing
And I ain't worried about a thing
Porch honky all I need
Is a big old glass of cold sweet tea
Porch honky doin' fine
Livin' life one day at a time
One day at a time
Porch honky sittin' on my porch swing
Waitin' on that sunset to hear a coyote sing
But in the mean time it's the same routine
Sweet tea in my beat up jeans
Charlie Bonnus? on the six string pickin' a tune
Tracy Stone doin' his thing skinnin' a coon
Dogs on the porch laid out by my feet
And every bodies head starts bobbin' to the beat
Cars drive by lookin' at us kinda' funny
Just some old porch honkies ain't got no money
Crops in the back yard chickens in the front
Slingshot shootin' beer cans off that stump
And the black smoke comin' from the smoker dinner times close
Yesterdays hide hangin' right on the post
Kick back rockin' chair yeah we keep it funky
And that's the definition of an old porch honky
Hangin' out I ain't gotta do a damn thing
But sit right here all day on my porch swing
Drink a few take a chew kick it with my honkies
Might get drunk and start actin' like a donkey
Moccasin Creek feet bare like my pockets
Conners on the porch and he's shootin' bottle rockets
CB3's hummin' us a brand new song
He's said yeah... it won't be long
Until we wake up in the morning and we do it again
Yeah we're fron porch coolin', covered in tin
The sun is beatin' down on my cowboy hat
My voice is gettin' hoarse my beer is never flat
I'm looking for my rifle I found my .45
I raised it in the air shot it high in the sky
Nobody asked why they just looked and grinned
Yeah them old porch honkies man they're at it again
All day long
All day long
Porch honky doin' fine
Livin' life one day at a time
One day at a time
"Porch Honky" by Moccasin Creek is a classic country song that centers around the love for porch sitting. The lyrics talk about the simple life of sitting on the porch, drinking sweet tea, and enjoying the company of friends. The term "porch honky" refers to someone who spends most of their time just sitting on the porch and taking life one day at a time. The singer is not worried about the stress of the outside world; instead, he is content with his laid-back lifestyle.
The lyrics also depict the scene of a typical porch gathering amongst a group of friends in the countryside. The scene includes the sound of coyotes singing at sunset, playing country music while hanging out, and shooting beer cans with a slingshot. The friends are not concerned with their lack of wealth, instead focusing on enjoying each other's company and having a good time. The simple and laid-back lifestyle portrayed in the song serves as a reminder to enjoy the simple things in life and not to take everything too seriously.

Sir! My family was one of the first families in putnam county before it was putnam county! Messer family, you will see our bait store in one of their videos! 100s of years we have been here...I had no idea what racism was until I was 18 years old, very gullible area to grow up in, compared to bigger cities or counties..my best friend Dwayne Williams is a black southern man and has been my best friend since kindergarten, I lm 49 years old now! The south is not what society or what the media tells us! Fact! Its refreshing to see like wise people as yrself! Peace!

I am a 64-year-old white dude who lived in the big city most of my life. I have a theory. I think music, movies, and pop culture did more to promote racial harmony than any civil rights leader in history. My mom was a music nut.
I grew up listening to Cab Calloway, and 40s swing bands. I think it was Benny Goodman who first integrated his
act when he hired Lionel Hampton. She loved Count Basie, the Mills Brothers, the Coasters and the Platters, and the
Ink Spots. She adored Sidney Portier who I think was one of the best actors who ever lived with the exception of Denzel Washington. My CD collection includes jazz, Motown, soul, R&B, and even George Clinton funk. I draw the line when it comes to rap because I think it was a step in the wrong direction. The classic black music genres are pure gold.
The black dude doing the bass vocals is awesome! I used to be able to come close to hitting bottom with songs
like Mr. Bass Man and the Oak Ridge Boys Elvira. Music is a unifying force. Give me Otis Redding or Aretha
Franklin and I am a happy man!
