Mallboro

[Verse 1] You left your boots by the door Mud on the porch boards That old truck still idles By the split-wire fence I got your note in my pocket Creased by the rain Said you’d be back by midnight But midnight changed [Pre-Chorus] Now the porch light swings And my heart won’t slow I keep one eye on the road One hand on the phone Say you’re coming home Say you’re coming home I’m still here, baby Right where you left me [Chorus] Mallboro, Mallboro Burning slow in my hand Mallboro, Mallboro Baby, I still can’t stand How you say goodbye Then come back again Mallboro, Mallboro You know where I am [Verse 2] There’s a dent in the tailgate From that county fair night You laughed in the passenger seat With your hair in the wind Now the fields look empty Even with daylight on them And the radio’s trading Our names for static again [Pre-Chorus] Now the porch light swings And my heart won’t slow I keep one eye on the road One hand on the phone Say you’re coming home Say you’re coming home I’m still here, baby Right where you left me [Chorus] Mallboro, Mallboro Burning slow in my hand Mallboro, Mallboro Baby, I still can’t stand How you say goodbye Then come back again Mallboro, Mallboro You know where I am [Bridge] I could let this ash fall I could lock that gate But your shadow in the screen door Keeps me up too late If you’re gonna leave me Don’t do it halfway Come on back, come on back Or stay [Chorus] Mallboro, Mallboro Burning slow in my hand Mallboro, Mallboro Baby, I still can’t stand How you say goodbye Then come back again Mallboro, Mallboro You know where I am
