Lyrics

Verse 1

You left your cap by the sinkSaid you’d swing back by SundayBut Sunday came and wentLike a penny down the highwayYour truck is still in my driveYour name still in my phoneI keep the porch light burningLike it might bring you home

Pre‑Chorus

Mama said “girl, let it go”But I know what I knowYou don’t call it quittingWhen you’re the one who fold

Chorus

I got your back porch receiptFolded in my jeansYou said “forever,” babyNow it’s only what it meansI ain’t mad, I’m just wiseI can read between the linesYour back porch receiptDon’t buy back my time (back porch receipt)

Verse 2

There’s a ring mark on the tableAnd a dent in the screen doorBoot prints in the red clayI don’t look for anymoreYou can keep that half-baked charmKeep your easy little smileI learned a hard truth quickYou can love a man awhile

Pre‑Chorus

Mama said “girl, let it go”But I know what I knowYou don’t call it quittingWhen you’re the one who fold

Chorus

I got your back porch receiptFolded in my jeansYou said “forever,” babyNow it’s only what it meansI ain’t mad, I’m just wiseI can read between the linesYour back porch receiptDon’t buy back my time (back porch receipt)

Bridge

So I boxed up your T-shirtLeft your key in the drawerTook my heart off layawayAin’t waiting anymoreIf you come around hereWith that same old pleaBetter bring me something realOr keep your back porch receipt

Chorus

I got your back porch receiptFolded in my jeansYou said “forever,” babyNow it’s only what it meansI ain’t mad, I’m just wiseI can read between the linesYour back porch receiptDon’t buy back my time (back porch receipt)
