I woke to find the note that I thought would never be found on my cupboard door It said that you needed time on your own somewhere to heal the scars of our home I knew right then where you had to go Chorus: Your papa's front porch would be there to greet you as you came runnin down that old dirt road it's memories would comfort, hold you and keep you safe and out of the storm and that's where you'd go your papa's front porch As I screamed down that interstate howlin your name in the wind my heart reached out and slammed on the brakes in a spin rage cannot win I knew I'd never hurt you again Time will heal this world that we made But how high is the price we paid All I ask is a breath of forgiveness As I walk away
