I see his face sometimes out there in the crowd
In between the melodies, he's askin' me when I'm comin' home
After all the lights come on
After all the folks are gone

I hit the road and closed my eyes
And I imagine I'm

Walkin' through the front door
Hearin' Daddy at the top of his lungs
And his feet on the wood floor
Runnin' up to give me a hug
Yeah, that's what it's all for
And the spotlight, I can't replace it
And in a heartbeat, man, I'd trade it
'Cause it ain't got nothin' on being front door famous

Soon as I get home, seems like I'm gone again
Walkin' out the driveway, I see his face pressed against the screen door
Teddy bear and a juice pack, sayin': Daddy, please come back
It tears me up every time, I can't wait until I'm

Walkin' through the front door
Hearin' Daddy at the top of his lungs
And his feet on the wood floor
Runnin' up to give me a hug
Yeah, that's what it's all for
And the spotlight, I can't replace it
In a heartbeat, man, I'd trade it
'Cause it ain't got nothin' on being front door famous

Right now, I'm fifty miles away from that state line
And I ain't slowin' down until I'm on that porch and I'm

Walkin' through the front door
Hearin' Daddy at the top of his lungs
And his feet on the wood floor
Runnin' up to give me a hug
Yeah, that's what it's all for
And the spotlight, I can't replace it
And in a heartbeat, man, I'd trade it
'Cause it ain't got nothin' on being front door famous
