Story Behind The Song
I was caught up in some challenges a number of years back, and the recurring desire that came to me was that of sitting on a porch someplace warm, preferably with a few good friends, and playing for hours and hours.
Song Description
Despite all the difficulties, challenges in life, the song is about the desire to just get away on his own, or with someone special, and kicking back on the porch, and just playing.

Lyrics
PLAY - copyright 2004 by Steve Mason
(Verse 1)
More things on my mind right now, mostly old clichés
It?s a learning time, something new every day
All my old friends come around, they?ve got lots to say
Talk about how time?s gone down, how we spent the days
(Chorus 1)
Please forgive me if I fade, I?m thinkin? of sunny days
I hope you won?t mind if I walk away
Go home, sit on the porch, and play
(Verse 2)
People goin? off to school, miles away
Leave their families and friends behind
I just sit here on the porch; sit and sing and play
Some folks they say Stevie?s lost his mind
(Chorus 2)
Hopin? they?ll forgive me if I fade?
But I?m thinkin? of sunny days
Hope they won?t mind if I walk away
Go home, sit on the porch, and play
(Chorus 3)
You can come with me and we?ll fade
We can enjoy sunny days
No one will mind when we walk away
Go home, sit on the porch, and play
