Dust on the Porch

[Verse 1]
I left your truck keys
In the sugar jar
By the screen door
Where the bugs keep guard
Your work shirt's folded
On the cedar chest
Still smells like hayfields
And your old leather vest

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your coffee cup
By the sink all day
Like you might come in
And take it away
But the house gets quiet
When the dogs lie down
And I hear my own heart
Drag around

[Chorus]
Dust on the porch
Still there for you
Dust on the porch
And a sky so blue
I call your name
Through the screen door glass
Dust on the porch
Baby, come back

[Verse 2]
The mail still stacks up
On the kitchen chair
Your mama's roses
Bloom wild out there
I fixed the hinge
On the storm door frame
But some things in this house
Still call your name

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your coffee cup
By the sink all day
Like you might come in
And take it away
But the house gets quiet
When the dogs lie down
And I hear my own heart
Drag around

[Chorus]
Dust on the porch
Still there for you
Dust on the porch
And a sky so blue
I call your name
Through the screen door glass
Dust on the porch
Baby, come back

[Bridge]
If you can't stay
Just send a sign
A crow on the fence
Or one lone porch light
'Cause I'm still here
With the weekend rain
Holding this home
Like a slow goodbye train

[Chorus]
Dust on the porch
Still there for you
Dust on the porch
And a sky so blue
I call your name
Through the screen door glass
Dust on the porch
Baby, come back

[Outro]
Dust on the porch
Won't wash away
But my love for you
Still learns to wait
