Front Porch - Joy Williams

There are no wrong roads

And no window stays closed

Love is always sad when it fades

But glass is better stained anyway

If never you find

What you’re looking for

Come on back to the front porch

Say my name through the screened door

Come on back to the front porch

Whatever you done

It doesn’t matter

Cause darlin' we’re all a little splintered and battered

But the light is on, what you waiting for

Come on back come on back to the front porch

We carved a story in these boards

Watching life go back and forth

You take it all for granted then you leave

And then it takes awhile to realize what you need

If never you find

What you’re looking for

Come on back to the front porch

Say my name through the screened door

Come on back to the front porch

Whatever you done

It doesn’t matter

Cause darlin' we’re all a little splintered and battered

But the light is on, what you waiting for

Come on back come on back

I took the long way looking for the short cut

To find out that this place was made of the best stuff

If never you find

What you’re looking for

Come on back to the front porch

Say my name through the screened door

Come on back to the front porch

Whatever you done

It doesn’t matter

Cause darlin' we’re all a little splintered and battered

But the light is on, what you waiting for

Come on back come on back

Come on back come on back

To the front porch
