Leave a Light on for Me

It's all of us squeezed into this small home
It ain't that much but it's helped us through
The hardest times, the fights, and all the lows
It's quaint for us but it might be strange for you

I learned guitar in the bedroom I still sleep in
And that same cast iron cooks our breakfast on the weekends

I've been known to make my momma cry
Make my daddy's head spin loose
And it ain't about what we don't have
It's about all the things that we do
We live life in a simple way
And if I come home late at night
When I get to the door holdin' my key
I can count on momma
To leave a light on for me

I've lied and lost their trust half a dozen times
But somehow they still love me no matter what I do
Is it me or am I just lucky as hell
That all my support is under the same old roof

There's a lemon tree in the backyard that I helped dig the dirt for
When I could barely reach the knobs on the doors

I've been known to make my momma cry
Make my daddy's head spin loose
And it ain't about what we don't have
It's about all the things that we do
We live life in a simple way
And if I come home late at night
When I get to the door holdin' my key
I can count on daddy
To leave a light on for me

It's just how we've always lived
And we've always been happy with it
We know our neighbors by their names
And we know which ones to visit
For a cold beer during a ball game

I've been known to make my momma smile
Make my daddy say "Son I'm proud of you"
And it ain't about what we don't have
Look at all the things that we do
We live life in a simple way
And if I come home late at night
When I get to the door holdin' my key
I can count on momma and daddy
To leave a light on for me
