Empty Porch Light (Reinvented) Lyrics

Driving home late, heart heavy and known

Saw those blue lights on that old county road

Sheriff stood waiting with his hat in his hand

Said, Son, there's things we won't understand

Now mama's face fell when the news hit her ear

We dropped to our knees, drowned in our tears

Two lights gone out from a drunk at the wheel

An empty porch, a pain too real

How do you mend a heart so torn

With every sunrise, feels more forlorn

In the silence, the echoes remain

Two angels lost to a senseless pain

Their empty chairs and her unmade bed

Dolls on the shelf, words left unsaid

A father's despair and a widower's cries

Darkened world under Tennessee skies

Whiskey don't numb what the fading lights show

Guitar strings break, voices fall low

No peace in the bottle, no solace found

Just a lost soul with eyes to the ground

How do you mend a heart so torn

With every sunrise, feels more forlorn

In the silence, the echoes remain

Two angels lost to a senseless pain
