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
