Front Porch Light

Lyrics

Verse 1
Dust on the county road
Sun on the pasture gate
I saddle up before dawn
And the whole wide world waits
Crows on the fence line
Mules in the morning haze
I can hear that old creek run
Through the cotton and the sage

Pre-Chorus
Hard work in my hands
Sky fire in my eyes
You can chase me down the miles
But you can't outrun these skies

Chorus
Front porch light
Burning bright
Come on home tonight
Front porch light
(front porch light)
Hold me right
Through the storm and the night

Verse 2
Thunder rolls past the barn
Mud on the old fence rail
Horses move like shadows
Through the turning wind and hail
My girl keeps the coffee hot
Dogs curled by the screen
When the rain gets mean out there
That porch looks like a dream

Pre-Chorus
Hard work in my hands
Sky fire in my eyes
You can chase me down the miles
But you can't outrun these skies

Chorus
Front porch light
Burning bright
Come on home tonight
Front porch light
(front porch light)
Hold me right
Through the storm and the night

Bridge
When the wind cuts cold
And the fields bend low
I remember where I came from
And I let it show
One small flame
By the screen-door frame
Says stay awhile
And I know my name

Final Chorus
Front porch light
Burning bright
Come on home tonight
Front porch light
(front porch light)
Hold me right
Through the storm and the night
Front porch light
Burning bright
Front porch light
We'll be alright
