Porch Light On

Porch Light On
Verse 1
I chased the moon through a thousand towns
Played my heart where the lights burned down
Heard my name from a million mouths
Still felt lonely in the roaring crowd
I slept in rooms that weren't mine to keep
Counted stars I was too tired to see
But every highway, every broken dawn
Whispered, "Boy, you've been gone too long"
Chorus
Keep the porch light on for me
Leave a little room beside the fire
Save that old worn-out melody
The one that always lifts me higher
I've seen the world and all its charms
But nothin' feels like your open arms
No matter where these wheels may roam
Keep the porch light on—I'm comin' home
Verse 2
The winter wind and the summer rain
Every season called my name
But I kept hearin' another sound
The laugh of the ones who hold me down
A piano hummin' through the walls
A guitar singin' soft and low
A voice yellin', "Don't track mud inside!"
Lord, that's when I know
Chorus
Keep the porch light on for me
Leave a little room beside the fire
Save that old worn-out melody
The one that always lifts me higher
I've seen the world and all its charms
But nothin' feels like your open arms
No matter where these wheels may roam
Keep the porch light on—I'm comin' home
Bridge
I used to think I needed thunder
Crowds and glory, noise and gold
Now I'd trade a hundred stages
For one hand I already hold
Let the headlines chase tomorrow
Let the whole world sing my name
Tonight I only wanna hear you
Call me home again
Final Chorus
Keep the porch light on for me
Leave a little room beside the fire
Save that old worn-out melody
The one that always lifts me higher
I've seen the world and all its charms
But nothin' feels like your open arms
No matter where these wheels may roam
Keep the porch light on—
Yeah, keep the porch light on—
Darlin', keep the porch light on—
I'm comin' home
