Fading Porchlight Goodbye

Took the bypass on the outer state line

To see if that mailbox was still leaning to the right

Your yellow porch light was burning in the dark

But I didn't stop,

didn't even park

And I'm driving past the life we used to know

Staring at the gravel down below (ohhh)

With a rearview full of choices I can't change

In the quiet of a country

rain

There's a tyre swing swaying from the oak

And the chimney's missing that familiar

smoke

My foot hit the brake,

but I kept rolling on

Hardest part of leaving

is knowing that you're gone

I wanted to turn back Heaven knows I tried

But there's too many ghosts on that gravel drive

And I'm driving past the life we used to know

Staring at the gravel down below (ohhh)

With a rearview full of choices I can't change

In the quiet of a country rain
