Porch Light Porch Swing

Verse

Screen door creaking to a rhythm I forgot

Creek bed quiet except for the kids and the frogs

Two rocker arms painted red and blue

Grandma's old slippers by my feet too

Ice in the bucket melting down slow

Radio hums where we used to go

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this porch still feels like home

Tell me why I'm holding on so long

Chorus

Porch light, porch swing, sweet tea and gold

Every crack in that wood's a story untold

Grandma's rocker and the wicker chair where we'd sit

Watching sun go down over that field we called it

I ain't built this old house for the wind or the rain

It was built for staying till the day don't know its name

Verse

Screen door creaking to a rhythm I forgot

Creek bed quiet except for the kids and the frogs

Two rocker arms painted red and blue

Grandma's old slippers by my feet too

Ice in the bucket melting down slow

Radio hums where we used to go

Pre-Chorus

Tell me why this porch still feels like home

Tell me why I'm holding on so long

Chorus

Porch light, porch swing, sweet tea and gold

Every crack in that wood's a story untold

Grandma's rocker and the wicker chair where we'd sit

Watching sun go down over that field we called it

I ain't built this old house for the wind or the rain

It was built for staying till the day don't know its name

Bridge

Someday I'll leave this porch behind

Maybe I already have, in my mind

But right now this swing still sways to the sound of your voice

Even though you moved away, it's still holding its own

So hold on, hold on, don't let go yet

Just one more rocking and we can forget

Chorus

Porch light, porch swing, sweet tea and gold

Every crack in that wood's a story untold

Grandma's rocker and the wicker chair where we'd sit

Watching sun go down over that field we called it

I ain't built this old house for the wind or the rain

It was built for staying till the day don't know its name

Outro

Porch light low, porch swing still moves

This is mine now

And I won't lose it
