irl, I know you wanna come home,
And who am I to say no?
Love’s been through hell and back,
But I still feel your shadow.
Pre-Chorus
Ain’t no use in fighting fate,
The heart knows what’s right,
I’ll leave that porch light burning,
If you come back tonight.
Chorus
’Cause the cold midnight wind
Cut me to the bone,
In this lonesome town
I’ve been drinkin’ alone.
Memories burn slow
Like whiskey on stone,
Since you’ve been gone,
My heart’s lost its home.
Verse 2
I cursed the moon and the rain,
Talked to God in my pain,
Asked Him why He’d let you go,
But silence called my name.
Chorus
Now the cold midnight wind
Still howls through my soul,
This empty bed
Ain’t got no control.
Love’s a fire that dies
But never grows old,
Without you here,
My world’s turned cold.
Bridge
So if you’re out there drivin’,
Past them county lines,
Just know this old heart’s waitin’—
For your headlights to shine.
Final Chorus
Yeah, that cold midnight wind
Still cuts like a knife,
This broken man
Can’t rebuild his life.
If love’s forgiveness,
Then I’ll pay the price—
Without you, girl,
Nothin’ feels right.
