Love Leaves the Porch Light On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Headlights cutting through the dark Mile marker after mile Coffee cold and the radio low Another lonesome while There's a man behind that big rig wheel With our kids' picture and a tired smile [Chorus] Jesse, I know it ain't easy Living your life on the road Every mile you roll is a mile of love For the family back at home And you might not think we notice But thank you for everything that you do [Verse 2] I know you count the ballgames missed The birthdays on the phone The kids grew up between your runs And now they've got their own Little grandbabies at the window Asking when you're coming home [Chorus] Jesse, I know it ain't easy Living your life on the road Every mile you roll is a mile of love For the family back at home And you might not think we notice But thank you for everything that you do [Bridge] So lay that heavy guilt down, baby Forgive the miles you couldn't choose Ain't nobody keeping score Just a love that's waiting up for you [Verse 3] One day you'll park that truck for good And kick your boots off by the door We'll fill the porch with kids and noise And you won't miss a moment more Till then I'll leave the porch light on You're the strongest man I know, for sure [Chorus] Jesse, I know it ain't easy Living your life on the road Every mile you roll is a mile of love For the family back at home And you might not think we notice But we thank you for everything you do [Outro] So roll on home, Jesse, roll on home We're so proud to call you ours Every mile you drive leads back To the love that's always ours
