Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At my mother’s house on Paines Creek
the screen door knows my name
Bill on the porch with a crooked grin
still makes the whole place feel the same
Meghan’s laughing at the table
Marc’s got a drink in hand
The sun goes down on the water line
and I remember where I stand
[Pre-Chorus]
McLaughlin by blood
and Macleod by heart
Every chair in that old house
knows how to play its part
[Chorus]
Paines Creek house, hold us close
(hold us close)
Paines Creek house, that’s our home
(that’s our home)
McLaughlin by blood
Macleod by heart
We come back here
and we never drift far
[Verse 2]
Grandkids run through the kitchen
bare feet on the worn pine floor
Little hands reach for cookies
then they’re racing out the door
Sunset paints the cedar railing
gold on the dock and grass
Bill pours one more round for everybody
and we toast the years gone past
[Pre-Chorus]
McLaughlin by blood
and Macleod by heart
Every laugh in that old house
feels like a brand new start
[Chorus]
Paines Creek house, hold us close
(hold us close)
Paines Creek house, that’s our home
(that’s our home)
McLaughlin by blood
Macleod by heart
We come back here
and we never drift far
[Bridge]
When the table’s full and the stories roll
I can hear my mama in the walls
In every name, in every face
there’s a little bit of us all
So pour the last light in our glasses
let it linger, let it stay
This old house on Paines Creek
keeps our whole wide family brave
[Final Chorus]
Paines Creek house, hold us close
(hold us close)
Paines Creek house, that’s our home
(that’s our home)
McLaughlin by blood
Macleod by heart
We come back here
and we never drift far
Paines Creek house, hold us close
(hold us close)
Paines Creek house, that’s our home
(that’s our home)
With Bill, Meghan, Marc, and the grandkids too
Every road leads back to you

Style
Country ballad with warm acoustic strums, brushed drums, fiddle sighs, and a soft steel-guitar glow; verse leans intimate and story-driven, pre-chorus opens with stacked harmonies, chorus lands on a chantable family-name hook, bridge swells with bowed strings and a key change feel. Close-mic female lead with gentle doubles, handclaps and porch-party gang vocals on the hook, subtle wind-chime accents into each chorus, bright and intimate mix, country
