Lyrics
Baby, it's me. Hush now. I'm about forty miles out. Three weeks of white lines and coffee gone cold Your picture on the dash going soft at the folds Every night from a motel, you said, "Hurry home" Now I hear it in the dark when I'm driving alone Mile by mile, the night is wearing thin I can almost smell the kitchen, I can almost see you grin Leave the porch light on I'm coming home, I'm coming home Leave the porch light on Let it shine down the road so I know I'm not alone Leave the porch light on Got sunflowers from a gas station, wilting in a bag Got a sore back, a tired heart, and a ten-pound sack of things I never said Tell the dog I'm sorry, tell your mama I'm all right Tell yourself I'm walking through that door tonight Ten more miles, and the sky is turning gold I'm a man who's learned the worth of what a front step holds Now listen to me, baby. I don't need the whole house lit. Just that one yellow bulb. When I turn onto our gravel, I want to see it burning. Then I'll know you waited. Leave the porch light on! I'm coming home, I'm coming home! Leave the porch light on! Let it shine down the road so I know I'm not alone Leave the porch light on! Light it up, light it up, I'm almost there Leave the porch light on, I see it from the hill Leave the porch light on, baby, I'm home
