Papa's Front Porch Lyrics - Singles - Gross Paul

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
