Front Door Ain’t Home No More

[Verse 1]
You said
“Take what you want”
So I took my time
Folded up that old gray shirt
Left your favorite one behind
Truck keys on the counter
Coffee going cold
You stared through the screen door slats
Like I was already a ghost
[Chorus]
Walking out that front door
Ain’t home no more
All our little plans scattered on the floor
You can keep this house
Keep that last name
I’ll keep my pride and a half tank of pain
Walking out that front door
Boots on the boards
Heart saying stay
But the hurt saying “go”
If I turn back now I’ll die slow
So I’m walking out that front door
Front door ain’t home no more
[Verse 2]
Mailbox full of offers
Cheap cards
Cheap deals
Guess they knew before we did
We were running out of feel
Your mom’s Dodge in the driveway
Lights off
But she sees
Curtain moves a half inch
As I’m dropping to my knees (inside)
[Chorus]
Walking out that front door
Ain’t home no more
All our little plans scattered on the floor
You can keep this house
Keep that last name
I’ll keep my pride and a half tank of pain
Walking out that front door
Boots on the boards
Heart saying stay
But the hurt saying “go”
If I turn back now I’ll die slow
So I’m walking out that front door
Front door ain’t home no more
[Bridge]
Maybe next town
I’ll find a cheap bar
Quiet crowd
Tell this story as a joke somehow (yeah)
But tonight it’s raw and loud
Every step down these three front stairs
Is me learning how to care
For myself like I cared for you
One less ring
One more truth (oh)
[Chorus]
Walking out that front door
Ain’t home no more
All our little plans scattered on the floor
You can keep this house
Keep that last name
I’ll keep my pride and a half tank of pain
Walking out that front door
Boots on the boards
Heart saying stay
But the hurt saying “go”
If I turn back now I’ll die slow
So I’m walking out that front door
Front door ain’t home no more
