Verse
Gravel dust and taillights fading down the line
Screen door slaps behind me like a shot of shine
Got my boots half-laced and my heart wide open
Radio's alive and the night's still hopin'
Truck bed full of moonlight, gravel road unwound
Every mile behind me makes a sweeter sound
Freedom tastes like diesel and a summer breeze
Nothing but the static and the fireflies
Pre-Chorus
So how far can a girl run
Before the running turns to home
Maybe both at once tonight
Maybe I don't gotta choose alone
Chorus
I'm gonna dance tonight like the world ain't watching
Spin till the stars blur into gold
Chase this freedom till the dark stops talking
But baby, keep the porch light on
So I know right where to go
When the music fades and the fire's low
I'll come back, but not too soon
Keep the porch light on till I'm done with the moon
Verse
Neon in the window, gravel in my hair
Some girl on the tailgate don't got a single care
Bonfire sparks are climbing like they're chasing the sky
I'm chasing something wilder, something running me by
Every song's a highway, every hook's a door
I keep on driving further than I've gone before
But there's a lamp still burning back on Cedar Lane
Steady as a heartbeat through the wind and rain
Pre-Chorus
So how far can a girl run
Before the running turns to home
Maybe both at once tonight
Maybe I don't gotta choose alone
Chorus
I'm gonna dance tonight like the world ain't watching
Spin till the stars blur into gold
Chase this freedom till the dark stops talking
But baby, keep the porch light on
So I know right where to go
When the music fades and the fire's low
I'll come back, but not too soon
Keep the porch light on till I'm done with the moon
Bridge
Maybe freedom ain't the leaving
It's the knowing you'll be there
Every road that I keep chasing
Circles back to Cedar Square
So let me run until I'm dizzy
Let me burn this whole night down
Long as one lamp's always waiting
I can dance this whole town
Chorus
I'm gonna dance tonight like the world ain't watching
Spin till the stars blur into gold
Chase this freedom till the dark stops talking
But baby, keep the porch light on
So I know right where to go
When the music fades and the fire's low
I'll come back, but not too soon
Keep the porch light on till I'm done with the moon
Outro
Keep it burning, keep it low
Keep the porch light on
I'll be home
