Every Light in the House Lyrics

I told you I'd leave a light on
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

Every Light in the House Song Chart

This was the second single Trace Adkins released, following There's a Girl in Texas. One of his most popular songs, it tells the story of a breakup where he tells his girl he'll leave a light on for her in case she ever comes back. He wants her back so bad that he turns on every light, figuring he'll start turning them off when he starts getting over her, which he never does.

This song was written by the Nashville songwriter Kent Robbins, who in 1997 died in a car accident at age 50. Robbins also wrote the Gary Allen song "Her Man" and The Judds song "Young Love (Strong Love)."

Adkins says he loves to do this song, but vocally, it's his hardest one to sing.
