Porchlight Courage
The rain moved out by Thursday afternoon
We set up folding chairs under the moon
Mrs. Miller brought a casserole in greaseproof wrap
And we mapped out the repairs across a folding map
Porch lights are coming on a little early tonight
To help the boys in work boots finish up right
When the timber split,
nobody had to ask
They just showed up with tools,
ready for the task
Oh, we hold the line together
through the turn of the year Simple everyday kindness
keeping us here
From the gravel driveways
to the kitchen door
We lift each other up,
that's what neighbors are for
There's a quiet strength in a hammer's steady ring
Knowing we'll make it to the spring
Oh, we hold the line together
through the turn of the year Simple everyday kindness
keeping us here
From the gravel driveways
to the kitchen door
We lift each other up,
that's what neighbors are for
That's what neighbors are for
Yeah,
porch lights on early
