The Porch Light's Always On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of strength In the men who never boast, Who give the world their open hands And love the ones who need them most. Somewhere down that dusty road A gentle heart got lost in the cold. [Chorus] Come back home, we're waiting still, Through the storm and up the hill. You are more than what you've lost, Worth so much more than any cost. Jim, the porch light's always on, Follow it back where you belong. [Verse 2] You've been a friend to every stranger, A mentor when the road was steep, The dogs still wait beside the door And I still guard the love we keep. Blood ain't the only thing that binds— Two sons found you, and stayed behind. [Chorus] Come back home, we're waiting still, Through the storm and up the hill. You are more than what you've lost, Worth so much more than any cost. Jim, the porch light's always on, Follow it back where you belong. [Bridge] Four little hearts that chose you too Are dreaming of your side. Your legacy ain't cars or gold— It's the tender heart you hold. [Verse 3] So let the heavy thing you carry Rest a moment on my shoulder. The dawn will come, the ache will ease, And love will make you whole and bolder. Jim, you're the good this world still needs, A quiet man of kinder deeds. [Chorus] Come back home, we're waiting still, Through the storm and up the hill. You are more than what you've lost, Worth so much more than any cost. The porch light's burning soft and gold, Come back to the hearts you hold. [Outro] Take my hand, the night is done, We'll walk it slow, my love, as one.
