I came in late with dust on my cuffs
A hollow in my chest and too much stuff
You left the lamp on by the screen door frame
Same little glow same old flame
The dog got up then laid back down
I hung my keys and I took my crown
From the working day from the county line
Back to this floor and your quiet sign
And I stood there still
By the window pane
You don’t have to say it
I know my name
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
You kept it burning for me
When I was gone
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
A little gold promise
That I’m coming home
Your hands were folded round a chipped blue cup
You said Sit down now baby warm your up
The kettle hissed then the whole room sighed
Like it held its breath for the longest time
There’s a crack in the step and a stain on the rail
A screen gone loose and a hook for my mail
A hundred hard days tried to take me out
But your front-yard light brought me back around
And I felt that pull
In my tired old bones
Like the creek after rain
Finds its way back home
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
You kept it burning for me
When I was gone
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
A little gold promise
That I’m coming home
If the road goes long
And the wind cuts mean
I’ll follow that beam
Through the field of weeds
I’ve been bent not broke
I’ve been low not lost
Still carrying love
Like a weathered cross
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
You kept it burning for me
When I was gone
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
A little gold promise
That I’m coming home
Porch light still on
Porch light still on
I hear that glow say
Boy you made it home
