[Verse 1]
The screen door creaks as the night settles in,
A distant train hums where the dark begins.
The porch light flickers, moths start to dance,
In this old town, where dreams take a chance.
[Prechorus]
And I’ve walked these roads, gravel and dust,
Chasing shadows, chasing trust.
[Chorus]
You're the reason why I stay,
Through the storms and the break of day.
When the world feels cold, and the river runs dry,
You're the reason why, you're the reason why.
[Verse 2]
The fields roll wide, and the sky leans low,
Where the corn once grew, now the wildflowers grow.
I see your smile in the setting sun,
It pulls me back when I’m coming undone.
[Prechorus]
And the wind may howl, the branches bend,
But love’s the road that never ends.
[Chorus]
You're the reason why I stay,
Through the storms and the break of day.
When the world feels cold, and the river runs dry,
You're the reason why, you're the reason why.
