Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Cold ring fading in the wood I read the note beside the ashtray Twice before I understood The old Ford coughed beneath the pecan tree Your suitcase wasn't there I held the door against the morning Like you might still be near [Chorus] If the road runs out beneath you Turn around and come back home I ain't asking for forgiveness I just hate sleeping alone Every mile between us Cuts a little deeper than before If your heart still knows my name Leave the porch light on once more [Verse 2] Your blue scarf hangs beside the doorway Still smells faintly of rain I hear your laugh inside the kitchen Then the house goes quiet again I drove as far as Jackson County And watched the fields roll by But every sign pointed backward Every answer was a lie [Chorus] If the road runs out beneath you Turn around and come back home I ain't asking for forgiveness I just hate sleeping alone Every mile between us Cuts a little deeper than before If your heart still knows my name Leave the porch light on once more [Bridge] I was proud when I should've held you I was hard when you needed grace Now the truth sits heavy in me Like a stone I cannot place [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] If the road runs out beneath you Turn around and come back home I ain't asking for forgiveness I just hate sleeping alone Every mile between us Cuts a little deeper than before If your heart still knows my name Leave the porch light on once more [Outro] Leave the porch light on once more I’ll be waiting by the door
