Hold The Porch Light (versión 2)

Verse

Screen door creaking on the old frame wood

Porch light buzzing like it's got something good to do

Your grandfather sat right where I'm sitting now

Saying 'just watch the river turn

Windmill spinning slow behind the fence line

Cricket serenade with a rusty rhyme

You said every porch has its own story told

I said that one's ours, don't you ever let it go

Pre-Chorus

Is it something in the paint or just the way we bend

Is this town still holding onto everything that's been?

Maybe love's just a lightbulb swinging from a wire above

Whatever the reason I stay right here on this porch, loving what you love

Chorus

Hold the porch light, hold it where it's warm and gold

Don't let the shadows in before we're told

Every house out here got a story left to say

We'll be holding the porch light till the sun comes back again today

Breeze is moving through like something wants us home

Don't matter which way we've been, don't matter where we roam

Verse

Your hand finds mine right where my granddad's used to sit

You say it's okay to feel it, I won't hide from this feeling yet

Chalk line map across the kitchen table drawer

Every street here got a name you'd recognize for sure

Mason jars of fireflies on a paper plate

Grandma's recipe still written in permanent ink and heat

We're too young for all that history to be ours alone

But sometimes I swear this whole block is waiting on its own hometown song

Pre-Chorus

Is it something in the paint or just the way we bend

Is this town still holding onto everything that's been?

Maybe love's just a lightbulb swinging from a wire above

Whatever the reason I stay right here on this porch, loving what you love

Chorus

Hold the porch light, hold it where it's warm and gold

Don't let the shadows in before we're told

Every house out here got a story left to say

We'll be holding the porch light till the sun comes back again today

Breeze is moving through like something wants us home

Don't matter which way we've been, don't matter where we roam

Bridge

I ain't scared of all this wind that's trying to blow it down

This porch has stood longer than any promise in a town

It don't need some fancy frame or new hardware nailed on tight

Just the people standing here before the dark turns blue tonight

Chorus

Hold the porch light, hold it where it's warm and gold

Don't let the shadows in before we're told

Every house out here got a story left to say

We'll be holding the porch light till the sun comes back again today

Breeze is moving through like something wants us home

Don't matter which way we've been, don't matter where we roam
