There is a light that shines
On her back porch at night
See it on the bayou side
For anyone that passes by
The magnolia tree still stands
Where Grandaddy laid it by hand
Azaleas bloom by Easter every year
There is a light that shines
Over the fields at night
With nothing but stars to guide
Anyone that passes by
The farmhouse he built still stands
Where my Taid he raised it by hand
Swallows fill the sky come every spring
Will I go back, will I go back to my home
If I can't see past the shadows you cast long ago
What will be left if I trace my steps
Back to your name on a stone
Back to your name on a stone
Back to your name on a stone
