Description
[Intro]
(Soft guitar, porch creak)
Mm-hmm, TJ...
[Verse 1]
Porch light's on, your denim's on the chair,
Mason jar on the table, sunlight in your hair.
You whistle at the radio, boots on the floor,
Tailgate down on that old dirt road door.
[Pre-Chorus]
You bring Sunday coffee, two mugs and a grin,
You laugh at my stubbornness and pull me in.
Every little way you stay, steady as a stone—
I know I don't have to roam.
[Chorus]
TJ, you're my home, TJ, you're my light,
TJ, you make the backroads glow at night.
TJ, you're my home, TJ, you're my song,
With you, right here, is where I belong.
[Verse 2]
You leave your keys on the counter by the jar,
Your worn-out baseball cap, that freckled scar.
We dance in the kitchen, old truck in the yard,
You hum through the chorus like you're strumming my heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
You fix my flat with a laugh, say "Girl, don't you cry,"
You drive slow 'til the sunset paints the sky.
Your hand finds mine in the dark like a map to come back home—
Tonight I'm never alone.
[Chorus]
TJ, you're my home, TJ, you're my light,
TJ, you make the backroads glow at night.
TJ, you're my home, TJ, you're my song,
With you, right here, is where I belong.
[Bridge]
Remember that storm when the lights went down?
We stood on that backroad, two hearts on shaky ground.
You prayed for the radio, you wrapped me in your coat,
Said, "We'll get through the thunder, baby, that's all she wrote."
In that dark I saw the truth, in your steady tone—
When everything else slips away, you're my home.
[Chorus - Variation]
TJ, you're my home, TJ, my porch light glow,
TJ, in your arms is the only road I know.
TJ, you're my home, TJ, my morning song,
Hold me close, TJ, forever's not too long.
[Outro]
Mason jar moon and the hush of the pines,
Denim jacket warmth and your small-town lines.
TJ, my backroad home, oh TJ, don't ever roam—
Stay right here, TJ, stay right here, you're my home.
TJ, My Backroad Home
