Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your sweatshirt’s on the backseat
Coffee cup still in the sink
Your hairband on the shifter
Guess I had more time to think
Than I ever really wanted
On this broken gravel road
Every mile just keeps replaying
Every lie I ever told
[Chorus]
I keep leaving this porch light on
Like you’re just runnin’ late
Drivin’ home
But it’s me and the moths and the TV glow
Talkin’ to a ghost only I can know
I was stubborn
I was proud
I was wrong
Now this house hums your favorite song
Yeah
I lost you and I earned these blues
Backroad heart
Paid in small-town dues
[Verse 2]
Your mama’s still at church pew three
Won’t quite meet my eyes these days
Your brother nods out by the pumps
When I fill up
Drive away
Our names carved in the water tower
Rust around that crooked heart
Funny how a pocketknife
Cuts years of your life apart
[Chorus]
I keep leaving this porch light on
Like you’re just runnin’ late
Drivin’ home
But it’s me and the moths and the TV glow
Talkin’ to a ghost only I can know
I was stubborn
I was proud
I was wrong
Now this house hums your favorite song
Yeah
I lost you and I earned these blues
Backroad heart
Paid in small-town dues
[Bridge]
If I’d turned around in that parking lot
If I’d said “I’m scared” instead of “fine”
Would you still be in my front seat
Drawin’ hearts on the fogged-up glass tonight
[Chorus]
I keep leaving this porch light on
Like you’re just runnin’ late
Drivin’ home
But it’s me and the moths and the TV glow
Talkin’ to a ghost only I can know
I was stubborn
I was proud
I was wrong
Now your silence is a lifelong song
Yeah
I lost you and I earned these blues
Backroad heart
Paid in small-town dues

Style
Dusty Americana ballad, male vocals. Slow sway with brushed drums, warm bass, and twangy electric guitar answering the vocal. Verses stay bare with acoustic and soft organ pad; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a subtle pedal steel crying in the background. Intimate room reverb on the voice, plenty of breath and cracks left in for raw honesty., soul, blues
