[Verse 1] I left with the first blue light A shirt full of dust and miles Past the split-rail fence And the grain truck’s tired wheels My boots knew every road But my heart kept missing yours Past the bend in the creek I could feel it pulling more [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky turns amber slow And the day lets go I can see the hills I know One more rise to go [Chorus] I’m on the road to home (I’m on the road to home) I’m on the road to home Where your porch light waits for me I’ve been gone too long (been gone too long) I’ve been gone too long But I’m almost in your reach [Verse 2] There’s a grocery bag in back With apples bruised and sweet A chipped mug from the diner And mud along my knees At the gas station by the bridge I watched the red sun sink I bought a map I didn’t need 'Cause I know where you’ll be [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky turns amber slow And the day lets go I can see the hills I know One more rise to go [Chorus] I’m on the road to home (I’m on the road to home) I’m on the road to home Where your porch light waits for me I’ve been gone too long (been gone too long) I’ve been gone too long But I’m almost in your reach [Bridge] I carried чужi? No I carried other days Like stones in my pockets Like rain in a jar But the gate still hangs the same And the dog still knows my name When I turn that last curve I’ll be where you are [Final Chorus] I’m on the road to home (I’m on the road to home) I’m on the road to home Where your porch light waits for me I’ve been gone too long (been gone too long) I’ve been gone too long But I’m almost in your reach I’m on the road to home (Home) I’m on the road to home And I’m finally, finally near
