About the Song
Sometimes, the road home isn’t found on a map — it’s lit by a single light that never went out.
The Porch Light Still Shines tells the story of a man returning home after years away, guided by the same soft glow that once welcomed him as a boy. It’s a story of love that waits, forgiveness that lasts, and faith that never burns out.
A heartfelt country ballad with gentle guitar, pedal steel, and fiddle. It’s warm, nostalgic, and tailor-made for quiet nights, long drives, and anyone who still believes home is where the light’s left on for you.
Why It Matters
.It reminds us that no matter how far we drift, the people who love us never stop hoping we’ll find our way back.
Song Lyrics Xmas 2025 Song 3 The Porch Light Still Shines
Snow drifts up against the screen door frame,
Mailbox leans, but the name’s the same.
Been years since I took that gravel drive,
But the glow from the porch says, “You’re still alive.”
The wind cuts cold through a worn red coat,
My headlights fade where the pine trees grow.
Then I see that light — it hits my soul,
Like Mama’s voice from years ago.
The porch light still shines through the winter night,
Guidin’ me home by its soft, warm light.
A welcome that never burned away,
Through all the years and miles I’ve strayed.
That little flame of love still finds
Its way to me — the porch light still shines.
Dad’s old truck’s rusted by the shed,
The dog’s long gone but his bowl’s still red.
Inside, there’s laughter, songs, and pie,
And a tear that falls from Mama’s eye.
She says, “Son, I knew you’d make it through.”
I said, “That porch light told me what to do.”
No GPS could show that way —
Just a glow that never fades.
The porch light still shines through the winter night,
Guidin’ me home by its soft, warm light.
A welcome that never burned away,
Through all the years and miles I’ve strayed.
That little flame of love still finds
Its way to me — the porch light still shines.
It’s more than a bulb on a front porch beam,
It’s faith and love and everything between.
No matter how dark life becomes,
That light says, “Son, you still belong.”
The porch light still shines through the winter night,
Like a prayer that never lost its sight.
And when I’m gone, I hope mine burns too —
For the hearts that still need guiding through.
Yeah, no matter where life unwinds,
Love lives on… and the porch light still shines.
