[Verse 1] Left you standin’ in the doorway Suitcase Summer Saw you cry Thought I needed bigger highways Didn’t see I had the sky Every mile I put behind me Just another sleepless town Heard your laughter in the quiet And it damn near took me down [Chorus] I wanna get back to your front porch light Swing chain creakin’ in the soft blue night Bare feet dancin’ on that faded wood You in my arms sayin’ “baby We’re good” I was blind Now I see it so clear Every wrong road just led me back here If you’ll open that door I’ll make it right I’m comin’ back to your front porch light (oh yeah) [Verse 2] Radio playin’ old love songs Each one cut me like a blade I kept seein’ your handwriting On that note I never saved All my proud words felt so empty In a cheap motel at dawn Guess it takes losin’ what you prayed for To know where you belong [Chorus] I wanna get back to your front porch light Swing chain creakin’ in the soft blue night Bare feet dancin’ on that faded wood You in my arms sayin’ “baby We’re good” I was blind Now I see it so clear Every wrong road just led me back here If you’ll open that door I’ll make it right I’m comin’ back to your front porch light [Bridge] [Band drops to mandolin Banjo Soft drum pulse] If there’s still a little space For a fool who lost his way I’ll fall down on that welcome mat Beg you just to let me stay (over me, over me) Let your name be my last prayer As I pull into your drive If you’re standin’ by that doorway Girl You’ll bring me back to life (back to life) [Chorus] I wanna get back to your front porch light Swing chain creakin’ in the soft blue night Bare feet dancin’ on that faded wood You in my arms sayin’ “baby We’re good” I was blind Now I see it so clear Every wrong road just led me back here If you’ll open that door I’ll hold on tight I’m comin’ home to your front porch light (hey!) I’m comin’ home to your front porch light
