Keep the Porch Light On

Verse

Screen door hums with the evening bugs

Gravel drive still warm beneath bare feet

Moth circles the yellow bulb above

Someone's radio, three houses down, low and sweet

Pre-Chorus

Everything I love

Is right here, slow and small

Don't need to go at all

Chorus

Keep the porch light on

Let the moths come home

Crickets keep the count

Till the dark burns down

Stay right where you are

Keep the porch light on

Verse

Sweet tea sweats a ring on the rail

Fireflies blinking their small hellos

Grandpa's chair still creaks the same

Empty now but the rhythm still shows

Pre-Chorus

Everything I love

Left a mark on this wood

Stayed as long as it could

Chorus

Keep the porch light on

Let the moths come home

Crickets keep the count

Till the dark burns down

Stay right where you are

Keep the porch light on

Bridge

Mm— the fields turn to navy blue

Mm— the porch swing still knows your weight

Nothing here has to hurry through

I'll wait up, however late

Chorus

Keep the porch light on

Let the moths come home

Crickets keep the count

Till the dark burns down

Stay right where you are

Keep the porch light on
