Best Front Porch Song

OK, so they co-wrote it, and both have recorded versions of it out. Whose do you like better?

Personally I like Robert Earl Keen's version due to his story-telling style.

Robert Earl of course. Back in the day when Pat was a backroom singer, and did it , it was pretty darn good too. Probably ain't his style anymore though.

Gotta go w/ RK! He is one of the most underrated musicians I've ever known and a party monster to boot.

It's a song that's actually titled, "The Front Porch Song," written by Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett.
