Miles Between The Porch Lights

[Verse 1]

Smelled like rain and county fairs

Jar of change on the window rail

Your letters stacked like crooked mail

[Chorus]

There’s miles between the porch lights now

I still talk like you’re around (hey!)

Calling your name

Into the fields behind the house

You’re somewhere under the same big sky

I keep looking

Asking why

There’s miles between the porch lights now

But I still leave mine on

[Verse 2]

Your coffee ring on the kitchen map

Circle ’round where we said “come back”

Dog still sleeps by the busted gate

Tilts his head like he can’t wait

[Chorus]

There’s miles between the porch lights now

I still talk like you’re around (oh, sing it)

Calling your name

Into the fields behind the house

You’re somewhere under the same big sky

I keep looking

Asking why

There’s miles between the porch lights now

But I still leave mine on

[Bridge]

I tap my heel on the wooden floor

Beat out your laugh

Hear it once more

If I shout loud

Will it shake your town?

Will you hear this old house howling out? (hey!)

[Chorus]

There’s miles between the porch lights now

I still talk like you’re around

Calling your name

Into the fields behind the house

You’re somewhere under the same big sky

I keep looking

Asking why

There’s miles between the porch lights now

But I still leave mine on

I still leave mine on (hey!)
