On an old familiar country road
Done kickin up the dust
With every little nook and cranny
Loved past wanderlust
–
At the end of the road, beyond the bend
A gate, always unlatched
Where your ne’er a stranger, but a friend
In love no strings attached
–
A country cabin, sits back lone
Perpetual porch light on
With rocking chairs and moccasins
For stories, told till dawn
–
With fire aglow and featherbed
We’ll all sleep when sleep is due
With Gods’ abundant love bestowed
Neath the grace of another moon
–
Chorus
Ne’er a stranger lovely love
I miss you when your gone
God love you and protect you
Perpetual porch light on
