**[Intro]** | bright acoustic guitar | light hand claps | playful piano Some lights don’t go out They just move farther on Now every little town is shining With the light she left on **[Verse 1]** | bouncy country-pop groove | warm vocal | acoustic strum She came from a house where the roof talked back And the cold came walking through But she had big dreams in a little front room And a heart that knew what to do She stitched up hope with a needle and thread Put a song in a hungry day Then she smiled so bright that the whole world turned Just to hear what she had to say **[Pre-Chorus]** | drums lift | female harmony answers She made poor feel proud Made hard times sing Put a little bit of heaven In a front porch string **[Chorus]** | big catchy country-pop hook | hand claps | female harmony She left the light on Come on, come on For the lost, for the lonely For the barely holding on She left the light on All night long If you ever need a reason To keep moving, keep moving on For every little dreamer Trying to get gone Look up, honey She left the light on **[Verse 2]** | playful piano | pedal steel fills | stronger rhythm She sang for the workers with aching feet And the women running late For the ones who punch in tired But still carry half the weight She had rhinestones shining like battle scars And thunder tucked in her smile A mountain rose with a lion heart And a laugh you could hear for miles **[Pre-Chorus 2]** | bigger lift | call-and-response harmony She made small feel mighty Made scared feel strong Put a hand on the whole wide world And said, “Child, sing along” **[Chorus]** | bigger | claps | harmony responses She left the light on Come on, come on For the lost, for the lonely For the barely holding on She left the light on All night long If you ever need a reason To keep moving, keep moving on For every little dreamer Trying to get gone Look up, honey She left the light on **[Bridge]** | half-time gospel feel | piano | claps drop out Maybe heaven needed laughter Maybe love called her home Maybe the angels got tired Of singing all alone But down here the books keep opening The jukebox still plays strong And every girl who finds her voice Keeps passing that light on **[Breakdown Chorus]** | stripped | hand claps | female harmony She left the light on Come on, come on For the lost, for the lonely For the barely holding on **[Final Chorus]** | full band | gospel choir light | joyful emotional lift She left the light on Come on, come on For the lost, for the lonely For the barely holding on She left the light on All night long If you ever need a reason To keep moving, keep moving on For every little dreamer Trying to get gone Look up, honey She left the light on **[Outro]** | claps | acoustic guitar | smiling final vocal Some lights don’t go out They just move farther on Now every little town is shining With the light she left on
