Front Porch Truth.Red Clay Promise Back Porch Mercy

You left your name on my old screen door
Like a note in the grain
I still see your silhouette underneath that ol' dim porch light 
I Hear your laugh in the rain
That red dirt road keeps its own time
Slow an unkind to my ache
every mile back to your side
Feels like one more mistake
I been learning your silence
It talks in my room
 I been holdin that memory
Like a glass to the moon ( Front Porch Truth )

I still talk to that ol' dim porch light (  Red Clay Promise )
I’m still standing here
In the same old pain (same old pain)

( Back Porch Mercy) Mama said, boy,  ( don’t you chase What the storm took away )
  Front Porch Truth,your voice still hangs in my coat Like the smoke of a day
 ( Red Clay Promise ) I can fix up the fence, can fix up the line Can fix all I own
( Back Porch Mercy ) I can’t mend the space in my chest When I’m sleeping alone 
( Front Porch Truth )I still talk to that ol' dim porch light As it fades to black in the yard
Tell it keep your side warm
 ( Tell it don’t be too hard )
Red Clay Promise 
My heart needs  you 
Like a river needs rain ( Back Porch Mercy)  set me free, I’m still standing here
In the same old pain (same old pain)

( Front Porch Truth )If you’re out there hurting
( If you’re out there lost )
I’d cross every creek 
I’d pay any cost to answer that call
( Just say my name once )
Let that be the sign
I’ll be there with my hand open wide
With a place by the fire that’s mine
(  Front Porch Truth,Red,Clay Promise, Back Porch Mercy)

Dust on my boots
rain on the pine.
Your name on my mind,
Old screen door swings,
summer hangs low.
I kept your promise
where the wild winds go.
( I'm holding on an letting Go) 
  I still hear
( front-porch truth,)
slow and steady
pulling me through.
Holdin  me down
( turn me around ) 
If I drift too far, pull me home
Front Porch Truth Red Clay Promise,Back porch mercy, 
Mama’s old quilt
on the cedar bed.
Every hard word
you left unsaid.
( I learned your love )
in a supper plate glow,
when the river ran low.( You swam away)

( Front Porch Truth) I still hear
that front-porch truth,
slow and steady
pulling me through.

( Red Clay Promise ) holdin me down
 turn me around
( If I drift too far, pull me home )
Back porch Mercy 
Take the high road I'll take the low 
(  the heat and  rain.)
I’ve seen the night,
Back porch Mercy ( I’ve worn the shame )
Of your old words
stay close to me,
like a hand on my shoulder 
( set me free.)

(Front Porch Truth) holdin me down
turn me around
If I drift too far, pull me home 
(Red Clay Promise,) 
( Back porch mercy,) hear me sing
Red Clay Promise,you said you never wanted what we had to end then took it away 
( Front Porch Truth)
 Like a river needs rain, Baby, I'm dancin in the rain on two left feet, ( Red Clay Promise )I’m still standing here
In the same old pain (same old pain) Back porch Mercy ( I won't let you fall,)an ( you let me fall ) after saying, ( I won't let you fall,) front Porch Truth ( Red Clay Promise, )Back porch Mercy ( I won't fall again, )
