Kick Up the Porch Light (Version 2)

Verse

Screen door slappin' to a two-four beat

Mason jars linin' up on the concrete

Somebody's cousin brought a fiddle and a folding chair

June bugs bangin' on the porch light glare

Gravel dust kicked up on my boots

Grandma's radio playin' something bluesy and loose

We got nowhere to be and all night to prove it

Hold this feeling, baby, don't you move it

Pre-Chorus

So what if the summer's slippin' fast

What if this is the last one we get to have

Then let's make it loud enough to last

Chorus

Kick up the porch light, let the moths come dancin' in

Stomp on these floorboards till the whole house sings again

We're burnin' daylight but we don't care what time it is

Kick up the porch light, hold on to a feeling like this

Verse

Sweet tea sweatin' on the wooden rail

Somebody's dog is chasin' his own tail

Fireflies blinkin' out a Morse code in the yard

Sayin' stay right here, don't make it hard

Cicadas hummin' like they know the words

Every laugh we throw gets caught up in the dirt

Tomorrow's comin' but it can wait its turn

Right now's the only thing worth trying to earn

Pre-Chorus

So what if the summer's slippin' fast

What if this is the last one we get to have

Then let's make it loud enough to last

Chorus

Kick up the porch light, let the moths come dancin' in

Stomp on these floorboards till the whole house sings again

We're burnin' daylight but we don't care what time it is

Kick up the porch light, hold on to a feeling like this

Bridge

Years from now when the porch is gone

And this house is just a photograph on someone's wall

I'll still hear the boots on the boards

Still taste the tea, still feel it all

Some nights don't need a reason

Some nights just need to be held

Chorus

Kick up the porch light, let the moths come dancin' in

Stomp on these floorboards till the whole house sings again

We're burnin' daylight but we don't care what time it is

Kick up the porch light, hold on to a feeling like this

Kick up the porch light, hold on to a feeling like this
