[Intro] Trailer hood dusk Dust on chrome Bug zapper buzzin He just walks home [Verse 1] Name on his shirt say Porter Name on the block say king Mud on his boots like mortar Holds this cul-de-sac by the strings Burned-out sign say SunCoast Letters missin where the rust ate through He the landlord of the lost and broke Still everybody pay dues [Chorus] Porter of SunCoast He the law of this gravel road Got a halo made of Marlboro smoke And a heart like a heavy load Porter of SunCoast Got the whole hood prayin his name When the flood rise up and the lights go ghost He the last one guardin the flame (Porter, Porter) Guardin the flame [Verse 2] Tattered flag on a leaning pole Pep boys parts in the kiddie pool He fix cars, fix fights, fix souls Ain’t pretty but it still feels true Cash in a Folgers can Tucked deep in the singlewide wall He lend out twenties to a shakin hand Say “Pay me back when you don’t feel small” [Chorus] Porter of SunCoast He the law of this gravel road Got a halo made of Marlboro smoke And a heart like a heavy load Porter of SunCoast Got the whole hood prayin his name When the flood rise up and the lights go ghost He the last one guardin the flame (Porter, Porter) Guardin the flame [Bridge] Sirens scream out on the highway Crickets scream out in the field He just stands in the yellow porch light Like a tattoo that never healed If the bank come try to take this dirt They gon learn what it means to hurt He the line in the sand, in the red clay earth Trailer park pride in a flannel shirt [Chorus] Porter of SunCoast He the law of this gravel road Got a halo made of Marlboro smoke And a heart like a heavy load Porter of SunCoast Got the whole hood prayin his name When the flood rise up and the lights go ghost He the last one guardin the flame (Porter, Porter) Guardin the flame
