[Verse 1]
I got an old truck and a tank half full,
A dusty pair of boots and a heart that's bruised.
Mama said, “Son, don't forget where you're from,”
But the highway kept calling, so I had to run.
I left that little town with a dream in my eyes,
Chasing something bigger underneath these skies.
Got a picture of you sitting right by my side,
And your voice in my head every mile I drive.
[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen the city lights,
I've slept under lonely skies,
But nothing feels like home
When you're not there tonight.
[Chorus]
So take me home tonight,
Back where the stars shine bright,
Back to your arms, back to that old front porch,
Where I don't have to run anymore.
Let the tires roll slow,
Down that old dirt road,
If I've learned anything from this life I've known,
You can chase the world,
But you can't outrun home.
So baby, leave the porch light on,
I'm coming back before the dawn.
Take me home tonight.
[Verse 2]
I've played my songs and honed my voice in every town,
But the echo in the bar still whispers your name around.
If I could trade the fame for the warmth of your smile,
I'd turn this highway drivin' into a quiet mile.
[Bridge]
Maybe the miles were meant to show me what I miss,
Not the stage, not the lights, but your gentle listening kiss.
If honesty is a road, then home is the sun we chase,
And I’m headed back to find it in your embrace.
[Chorus]
So take me home tonight,
Back where the stars shine bright,
Back to your arms, back to that old front porch,
Where I don't have to run anymore.
Let the tires roll slow,
Down that old dirt road,
If I've learned anything from this life I've known,
You can chase the world,
But you can't outrun home.
So baby, leave the porch light on,
I'm coming back before the dawn.
Take me home tonight.
[Outro]
Take me home tonight, tonight, tonight.
