Lyrics
Porch swing creaks where the summer used to stay,
Mason jar moonlight and the crickets play.
Your name's a whisper on the underside of this town,
I still keep the map where we burned it down.
Old jukebox songs in a diner down the road,
I hear your laugh in every worn-out ode.
Leave the last porch light on for me,
I'll be searching back the years till I finally see.
All the roads I took that led me wrong,
I'll trade the night for one more dawn —
Leave the last porch light on for me.
Truck bed full of thunder, rust and prayer,
Hand-me-down jacket with a pocket of spare care.
Mama says time mends what whiskey tries to hide,
But I've been learning how to swallow pride.
Two-step shadows on a kitchen floor,
You left the door, but I keep hope on the door.
Leave the last porch light on for me,
I'll be searching back the years till I finally see.
All the roads I took that led me wrong,
I'll trade the night for one more dawn —
Leave the last porch light on for me.
If forgiveness had an address, I'd write it in the rain,
If regret could pave a highway, I'd walk it once again.
I'm not asking for forever, just a room to make it right,
I'll stand where I belong beneath that amber light.
Leave the last porch light on for me,
I'll be coming home with an honest melody.
No more paper promises, no more hollow songs,
Just these two hands, where they belong —
Leave the last porch light on for me.
Porch swing slows, the jar glows low,
I'm coming back, just thought you should know.
