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
