Porch Light Motel

[Verse 1] Neighborhood sleeping under amber street lights Tires crunch slow in the gravel tonight Engine ticks like it’s winding down prayers After carrying me all the way here Kitchen window glowing soft and gold That little house never looked so close Could be a mansion, could be a shack Long as that porch light keeps calling me back [Pre-Chorus] World gets loud, days get long But this place still feels like a song [Chorus] Porch Light Motel One room heaven after living through hell No vacancy sign in the midnight air Just an old welcome mat saying somebody cares Ain’t luxury, ain’t much to show But it’s the only place my tired soul knows Yeah every hard road ends this well At the Porch Light Motel [Verse 2] Boots by the door and the fridge humming low TV flickering some late-night show Jacket tossed over the kitchen chair Little signs that I finally made it here Outside the world keeps spinning fast Deadlines, bills, and breaking backs But inside these walls time stands still Long enough to heal [Pre-Chorus] Funny how peace can look this plain Just soft yellow light through a window pane [Chorus] Porch Light Motel One room heaven after living through hell No reservation, no checkout line Just quiet safety every night on time Ain’t rich living, but I know It beats every neon road stop cold Yeah every hard road ends this well At the Porch Light Motel [Bridge] Some folks chase horizons endlessly Big city lights and luxury Me? I just need one lamp left on To know where I belong [Final Chorus] Porch Light Motel Last safe harbor when the world gets hell Front door creaks like an old friend’s voice And for one small moment life feels choice Yeah tomorrow’s coming, I know too well Another shift, another bell But tonight the hard world can go to hell I made it to the Porch Light Motel [Outro] Porch light still glowing… Guess they knew I’d make it home eventually…
