Every Light In The House
Trace Adkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya
Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on
If I should ever start forgetting
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waiting at home each night to hold ya
Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Oh, every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

Trace Adkins is criminally underrated
@blueibabygirl07
He was huge 2 decades ago 🥰
@quentins5692
If George Strait didn’t exist he’d be the kind of country music for sure. But if Keith Whitley didn’t off himself George strait wouldn’t have been shit.
@wolftotem539
He is ignored and blake shelton is called Country... This is why this new generation sucks.
Wouldn't know Country if it bit their sensitive little noses.
