Letras
Suitcase leaning on the screen door
Morning dew and highway air
Mama's tears on faded flannel
Daddy's nod says "Take your care."
That golden hour paints the gravel
Like a memory I can't keep
Wind chimes hum a soft goodbye
While the sun wakes up the creek
I've got stars in my rearview
Dreams on the dash
Heart full of stories I ain't lived yet
But I'll come back
To the boots on the welcome mat
Right where I left my heart at
The porch light's glow still guiding me home through the rain
Every road I take, I'm learning
The further I go, the more I'm yearning
For the small-town rhythm under my skin like a prayer
Yeah, my boots on the welcome mat will always wait there
Radio hums a half-known ballad
Smells like pine and old motel sheets
Every town's got its own flavor
But none taste like my mama's sweet tea
I'm chasing colors in the distance
But they fade into the dusk
Even in this freedom I can't shake
The red dirt in my blood
I've got stars in my rearview
Dreams in my hand
Every song I write still sounds like
This piece of land
With my boots on the welcome mat
Right where I left my heart at
The porch light's glow still guiding me home through the rain
Every road I take, I'm learning
The further I go, the more I'm yearning
For the small-town rhythm under my skin like a prayer
Yeah, my boots on the welcome mat will always wait there
Maybe you never really leave it
Even when the map says you did
Every sunset feels like a secret
It's the child in me I hid
So I'll keep my boots on the welcome mat
Right where my heart's still at
The porch light's glow keeps flickering soft in my dreams
Every mile just brings me nearer
Every song just makes it clearer
That home ain't gone, it's waitin' in the air
With my boots on the welcome mat
And love everywhere
Yeah, my boots on the welcome mat.
Still smell like home
