Back on Your Porch

[Verse 1] Dust on my boots, blacktop miles Same old sign by the county line Mama’s screen door still hangs loose And the fields look like they used to I parked where the gravel dips Heard that creek through the willow sticks Then I saw you by the light And I forgot why I’d left that night [Pre-Chorus] You laughed like you knew my name Like I never had changed That little spark hit hard Right through this worn-out heart [Chorus] Back on your porch Back in your eyes I came home running And you lit up the sky Back on your porch I found my peace One small town kiss And you got a hold on me (Back on your porch) (Back on your porch) [Verse 2] You said “you staying or you gone?” I said “I’m tired of being on the run” Your mama’s roses by the rail Your hair in the wind, my nerves all frail We split one pie on paper plates Talked about the storms and the late mistakes You touched my hand, I went still Like the whole wide world had finally healed [Pre-Chorus] And every road I used to know Started fading slow With your name in my chest I couldn’t want more, couldn’t want less [Chorus] Back on your porch Back in your eyes I came home running And you lit up the sky Back on your porch I found my peace One small town kiss And you got a hold on me (Back on your porch) (Back on your porch) [Bridge] Now the trucks can roll on by I don’t need that endless sky If your hand stays in mine I’m exactly where I oughta be tonight [Final Chorus] Back on your porch Back in your eyes I came home running And you lit up the sky Back on your porch I found my peace One small town kiss And you got a hold on me Back on your porch I’m where I belong Home was your heart And I knew it all along (Back on your porch) (Back on your porch)
