[Verse 1]
Long road
Dust on my boots
Clock on the dash running late again
But I’m coming back to you
Tail lights
Fade in the sky
Got your picture on my cracked phone screen
Keeps me driving through the night
[Chorus]
I need you
Like Sunday needs that choir singing
I want you
Like front porch needs that swing still swinging
I’ll be making it home for dinner
Baby, just leave on that light
You’re my baby
You’re my baby tonight (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Your note
Stuck to the fridge
“Don’t speed, just get here safe
I saved you a plate”
That laugh
I hear it in my head
Every mile between your arms and me
Can’t wait to crawl in our bed
[Chorus]
I need you
Like Sunday needs that choir singing
I want you
Like front porch needs that swing still swinging
I’ll be making it home for dinner
Baby, just leave on that light
You’re my baby
You’re my baby tonight
[Bridge]
If the rain comes down
If the truck breaks down
I’ll still find my way somehow (hey!)
Every road I run
Every setting sun
Leads me right back to you now
[Chorus]
I need you
Like Sunday needs that choir singing
I want you
Like front porch needs that swing still swinging
I’ll be making it home for dinner
Baby, just leave on that light
You’re my baby
You’re my baby for life
