I remember that old black-and-white globe
Flickering in the living room long ago
And the sky would rumble, a flash would burn the night
And Grandma said, turn it off, let's do this right
We'd walk out to the porch, wood creaking under our feet
Where the rain met the air, and the summer smelled sweet
And on that front porch lightning, under thunder's roll
We were one warm family, one unbroken soul
Every flash lit our faces, every boom shook the floor
And the world felt so simple, we didn't need more
Just front porch lightning, and the ones I adore
Dad would lean back, pipe smoke curling slow
Mom would tell a story from the days long ago
Rain tapped the roof in a soft, steady tune
As the storm painted silver on the face of the moon
We'd laugh till the thunder chased our words away
And I prayed those nights would forever stay
And on that front porch lightning, under thunder's roll
We were one warm family, one unbroken soul
Every flash lit our faces, every boom shook the floor
And the world felt so simple, we didn't need more
Just front porch lightning, and the ones I adore
Now sixty years later, I still feel that calm
Like the storm was a blessing, not something to harm
And I close my eyes, and I'm back in that glow
With the voices I loved, and the place I called home
On that front porch lightning, under thunder's roll
We were one warm family, one unbroken soul
Every flash lit our faces, every boom shook the floor
And the world felt so simple, we didn't need more
Just front porch lightning, forever and more
Yeah, I still love the lightning, still love the rain
Cause it takes me back home, to that porch again
