Running a day behind on release schedule, but here's the song for this week's podcast episode. Episode out tomorrow. 

Since we talked about an essential household piece of tech last week, we figured it'd be cool if we talked about another piece of household tech...the refrigerator.

For me, I remember the Harvest Yellow refrigerator in my mom's kitchen, the white boxy fridge on my grandma's back porch, and the avocado green tank in a neighbour's garage. 

This week's song is all about the Cold One on the Porch. A jaunty poppy yacht rock piece. 

[Verse 1]
Lights out in the kitchen
Screen door swingin' open
Out on the back porch
Where the night begins
There's a chair that knows me
A song on the radio
And the cold one waitin'
Right there for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach for the handle
Light spills out yellow
Take that bottle out
And settle in slow

[Chorus]
Cold one on the porch (cold one on the porch)
Always cold, always there
Cold one on the porch (cold one on the porch)
Heaven on a wooden chair
Cold one on the porch
Cold one on the porch
Bless the cold one on the porch

[Verse 2]
Bottle's gone cool
Sweat on the bottom
Boots up on the railin'
Fireflies coming out
Same way my dad sat
Same hour, same view
Same hand on the bottle
Same cold one in mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Reach for the handle
Cold air comes rollin'
Take what you came for
That hum keeps going

[Chorus]
Cold one on the porch (cold one on the porch)
Always cold, always there
Cold one on the porch (cold one on the porch)
Heaven on a wooden chair
Cold one on the porch
Cold one on the porch
Bless the cold one on the porch

[Bridge]
Held the wedding leftovers
Held the funeral pies
Held the milk for the cereal
When it's too hot to rise
Held the pop for the cousins
Held the ice for every ache
Holds the cold one in my hand right now
Same as ever, never moved

[Final Chorus]
Cold one on the porch (cold one on the porch)
Always cold, always there
Cold one on the porch (cold one on the porch)
Heaven on a wooden chair
Cold one on the porch
Cold one on the porch
Bless the cold one on the porch

[Outro - vocal fading]
Bless the cold one on the porch
Bless the cold one on the porch
