Porch Light

This is where we grew up
Where we got down
Fell in love in this old town
Waive hello, so don’t be shy
Have a drink but stay the night
People come and people go
But nothing holds these roots like home
Even if you’re getting gone
We’ll always leave the porch light on

If one of these days you find yourself alone
Wondering how your heart got turned to stone
No matter how far the love has gone
When every right becomes a wrong
We’re always gonna leave the porch light on
(It always leads me home)
We’ll leave the porch light on
(It always brings you home)

We shake hands and we hold doors
We say yes ma’am and praise the lord in the old church
And go to work each and every day
If you’re gonna play and have some fun
You’ve gotta know when to get it done
Don’t let those Friday nights getting right
Keep you gone too long

But one of these days you’ll find yourself alone
Wondering how your heart got turned to stone
No matter how far the love has gone
When every right becomes a wrong
We’re always gonna leave the porch light on
(It always leads me home)
We’ll leave the porch light on
(It always brings you home)

Stars always glow in a country sky
But if you find yourself too far from home
Follow that porch light

If one of these days you find yourself alone
Wondering how your heart got turned to stone
No matter how far the love has gone
When every right becomes a wrong
We’re always gonna leave
We’re always gonna leave the porch light on
(It always leads me home)
Yeah, we’ll leave the porch light on
(It always brings you home)

(It always leads me home)
If you ever lose your way down that old dirt road
(It always brings you home)
We’ll leave the porch light on
