Title: “Her Front Porch Light”

Title: “Her Front Porch Light” Verse 1 Word got out down at Miller’s Feed Before I even reached the county line Said I crossed a line I shouldn’t cross With a woman that wasn’t mine Her husband’s truck sat in the drive While mine idled down the road Small towns got a thousand eyes And nowhere for secrets to go Chorus Now I’m the talk of every bar stool Every sermon and every school They shake their heads when I walk by Like I lit the match to a prairie fire Yeah I done wrong, I won’t deny But hearts don’t ask what’s yours or mine And every night I still see that light Burnin’ on her front porch bright Verse 2 She said she’d been alone for years Just wearin’ a borrowed ring Said “I forgot what it feels like When somebody looks at me” I should’ve walked, I should’ve known This town don’t forgive or forget But the way she shook when I held her close Ain’t something I regret Chorus Now I’m the talk of every bar stool Every sermon and every school They shake their heads when I walk by Like I lit the match to a prairie fire Yeah I done wrong, I won’t deny But hearts don’t ask what’s yours or mine And every night I still see that light Burnin’ on her front porch bright Bridge Last I heard she moved away Packed her life in a Chevrolet He stayed put, she took the blame But this town still spits my name Funny how the guilty stay Long after love has gone away Final Chorus Yeah I’m still the talk of every bar stool Every sermon and every school Let ’em judge and let ’em try They weren’t there that night in July Yeah I done wrong, I won’t deny But some loves live and never die And in my mind I still see that light Burnin’ on her front porch bright Outro Somewhere there’s a porch swing swayin’ slow And a man who can’t let go
