The porch light's on again
But the yard looks empty still
One boot by the doormat
One plate on the sill
I hear the screen door sigh
Like it knows your name
This old place remembers
Everything that changed
I've been counting years
By the cracks in the paint
By the jars on the shelf
And the jobs that I ain't
The sun went down tired
On these weathered boards
And I stand here wondering
What I'm waiting for
I'm still here I'm still here
With the dust and the years
If the whole world moves on
I'll be singing this song
I'm still here I'm still here
The barn door leans a little
Like it carried too much rain
The mailbox got hit
And bent back again
I fixed what I could
With a hammer and faith
But some old heavy things
Just stay in their place
I've learned how to lose
And keep my hands clean
How to smile at the mirror
And mean what I mean
The night air comes in
Through the cracks in the wall
And I hear my own heartbeat
In the hush of it all
I'm still here I'm still here
With the dust and the years
If the whole world moves on
I'll be singing this song
I'm still here I'm still here
There was a time I ran
At the sound of goodbye
Now I sit with the ache
And I let it ride
If the kettle stays cold
If the fields stay bare
I can live with the truth
I was built to care
I'm still here I'm still here
With the dust and the years
If the whole world moves on
I'll be singing this song
I'm still here I'm still here
