Leave the Porch Light On
Do no harm, take no shit
Never gave my mama no lip
& if i did, i knew where i was headed
Raised up right, knew how to pray
Worked all night & all day
& you got your turn, when she finished talkin
Daddy was never home
But it wasn't for the lack of love
& when it mattered most, he was front and center
Oh he was always on the road
Just a call away
& when he picked up, this is what he said
"Hold the fort down, i'll be back next week
The devil in this highway is just killin me
He knows my name, he's got me by the tail
He just wants to see me fail
But i'm comin home
Leave the porch light on"
Trust no one and if you do
You'll be the scum on the bottom of their shoe
Wrapped around their finger til you're six feet under
Stay in ur layne, youll make it on time
Trust in him, & you'll be just fine
Always runnin 90 like it's in my veins
Sister calls me once a week
I thank the lord we even speak
Sometimes i miss her so damn much
& every time she calls me up, i say
"Hold the fort down, i'll be back next week
The devil in this highway is just killin me
He knows my name, he's got me by the tail
He just wants to see me fail
But i'm comin home
Leave the porch light on"
Now i understand why they say i'm like my daddy
I think the road is my home
No one understands why i want this life so badly
Been this way since i was eight years old
Hold the fort down, i'll be back next week
Those big lights on that stage, they're just callin me
I've got the name, i'm tough as nails
I just can't let you see me fail
But i'm comin home
Leave the porch light on
Never gave my mama no lip
& if i did, i knew where i was headed
Raised up right, knew how to pray
Worked all night & all day
& you got your turn, when she finished talkin
Daddy was never home
But it wasn't for the lack of love
& when it mattered most, he was front and center
Oh he was always on the road
Just a call away
& when he picked up, this is what he said
"Hold the fort down, i'll be back next week
The devil in this highway is just killin me
He knows my name, he's got me by the tail
He just wants to see me fail
But i'm comin home
Leave the porch light on"
Trust no one and if you do
You'll be the scum on the bottom of their shoe
Wrapped around their finger til you're six feet under
Stay in ur layne, youll make it on time
Trust in him, & you'll be just fine
Always runnin 90 like it's in my veins

I've got the name, i'm tough as nails
I just can't let you see me fail
But i'm comin home
Leave the porch light on
