[Verse 1] I found your letter underneath the kitchen plate Four short lines and a coffee stain You said the porch still faces west And every evening wears the same red dress [Pre-Chorus] I almost called from the county line But some roads close when you wait too long [Chorus] If I come home, will you open the door? Will you know the man I was before? I’ve carried your name through every town Like a match I never struck or put down If I come home, don’t ask me why Just leave one chair beneath the porch light [Verse 2] The old Ford shakes past the mill at five Same cracked bell, same stubborn pines Your father’s fence leans into the field And the August dust still refuses to yield [Pre-Chorus] I made a life out of moving on But it never learned to move without you [Chorus] If I come home, will you open the door? Will you know the man I was before? I’ve carried your name through every town Like a match I never struck or put down If I come home, don’t ask me why Just leave one chair beneath the porch light [Bridge] I don’t need forgiveness dressed in gold I need your hand if the night turns cold Let the years sit quiet between us awhile I’ll trade every mile for the truth in your smile [Climax] If I come home, I’ll stand in the rain I’ll say your name and say it plain No more running, no borrowed time No more leaving your heart behind If I come home, let the silence break Let the first word be the one we make [Outro] There’s one chair beneath the porch light And I’m turning down your road tonight
