Lyric

[Verse 1]

Dust on the mailbox

Paint chippin' off that rail

Wind chimes still know

Every childhood tale

Mama in the screen door

Apron and crooked grin

Daddy in his old chair

Waitin' on us again

[Chorus]

Porch light still burning

Like it always did

Shining on the grown-ups

Who still see us as kids

Twilight on the front lawn

Fireflies in the trees

Love feels like coming home

When they’re waiting there for me

[Verse 2]

(Male)

I pull in the driveway

Truck hummin' down to quiet

See my father stand up slow

Trying not to show he’s tired

(Female)

Your mama hugs me longer

Like she did that night we wed

Smells like soap and Sunday roast

She laughs and shakes her head

[Chorus]

Porch light still burning

Like it always did

Shining on the grown-ups

Who still see us as kids

Twilight on the front lawn

Fireflies in the trees

Love feels like coming home

When they’re waiting there for me

[Bridge]

(Both)

We’ve been gone so long

Chasing days that move too fast

But in this quiet yard

Every heartbeat feels like past

(Male)

Their hands have gotten shaky

(Female)

Their stories slow and low

(Both)

But every time they say our names

Relief just floods my soul

[Chorus]

Porch light still burning

Like it always did

Shining on the grown-ups

Who still see us as kids

Twilight on the front lawn

Soft grass

Autumn breeze

Love feels like coming home

When they’re waiting there for me

[Outro]

(Both, soft)

Dust on the mailbox

Keys rusted

Same old ring

As long as they’re there waiting

This house is everything
