Green Light Home

Lyrics

Verse 1

Been a hundred miles since breakfast
Three hundred more since dawn
Every little town's looked different
Since I first rolled on

Then I saw that old courthouse
Standing just where it's always been
And that little light on Main Street
Turned green as I rolled in

Chorus

Got the green light home
No reason left to roam
Mama's probably got supper on
Daddy's waiting on the porch

Every mile was worth the drive
But nothing feels this right
When that little light turns green
I know everything's alright

Yeah, the best part of leaving...
Is the green light home

Verse 2

Passed the school where I played ball
The church where Grandpa prayed
Johnson's Feed and Miller's Garage
Still look about the same

Funny how a simple stoplight
Can say more than words can say
It ain't telling me to hurry...
It's telling me I've made it

Chorus

Got the green light home
No reason left to roam
Mama's probably got supper on
Daddy's waiting on the porch

Every mile was worth the drive
But nothing feels this right
When that little light turns green
I know everything's alright

Yeah, the best part of leaving...
Is the green light home

Bridge

Someday my own kids might leave
Chasing dreams across this land
I just hope they know this old town
Will always understand

That no matter where life takes them
Or how many roads they roam
There'll always be a little green light...
Leading them back home

Final Chorus

Got the green light home
The long day's finally done
Nothing in this whole wide world
Feels better than this one

The road will call tomorrow
But tonight I'm right where I belong
Funny how one little light
Can welcome you back home

Yeah, one little light...
Says, "Welcome home."
