Intro
Verse 1
There's a dashboard full of stories,
Guitar picks like a rosary,
Flickering motel sign in the distance,
Diesel perfume and restless dreams.
Every mile's a memory,
Every town's a ghost,
But tonight I'm talking to you,
Across the miles we both know.
Pre Chorus
The highway's calling out my name,
But your voice is louder in the flame.
With a worn-out map and a heart untamed,
One last ride, then I'm coming home.
Chorus
I left the porch light on for you,
Through the midnight, I'll be true.
In the distance, I hear the road,
But my heart's already home with you.
Verse 2
I've got a motel key in my pocket,
A promise in the palm of my hand,
The road's been a cage and a rocket,
But tonight, I swear, I'll understand.
The stars are fading in the sky,
The engine hums a lullaby,
With every turn, I feel you near,
Whispering my name, my dear.
Pre Chorus
The highway's calling out my name,
But your voice is louder in the flame.
With a worn-out map and a heart untamed,
One last ride, then I'm coming home.
Chorus
I left the porch light on for you,
Through the midnight, I'll be true.
In the distance, I hear the road,
But my heart's already home with you.
Solo
Chorus
I left the porch light on for you,
Through the midnight, I'll be true.
In the distance, I hear the road,
But my heart's already home with you.
With every mile, I feel you close,
The road's my past, but you're my ghost.
Outro
So here's to the road, my old friend,
And here's to the journey that never ends.
But most of all, here's to you,
Waiting for me, like I knew you would do.
(Softly) I left the porch light on for you.
