New Country Music Videos Fire doesn't just destroy material things. It burns our memories. It takes away part of our identity. Don't let the fire win. Track "Dust on the Porch" Nks interpreter by Peter Duss I slowly reached the county line Same bent sign, same leaning pine tree But the house was gone, only the porch frame and dust remained My boots trod on ash No smoke rose from the chimney, no dog in the yard I stood there, listening to the empty air Like someone had left And I knew it in that instant What's gone is gone Not a nail straight Not a wall in foot I could fix a fence I could paint over the cracks But time doesn't come back No, time doesn't come back Just dust on the porch Dust on the ground There's nothing left to save here I came home hard I came back wrong But my memories still linger Dust on the porch Dust on the porch That's all that's left That's all that's left Yours Mom's blue bowl Dad's truck keys Laughter in the kitchen, just an echo Your hand in mine in a summer breeze I found a spoon in the backyard Bended like a promise I never kept The fields grew while I was gone Now even the weeds have been pulled And I stood in the yard Throat full of rain Trying to recognize faces Trying to say their names But the silence said What the whole town I knew Some things burn And some things just fade away Just dust on the porch Dust on the floor There's nothing left to save here I came home broken I came home wrong But my memories still cling on Dust on the porch Dust on the porch That's all that's left That's all that's yours So I took a nail from the old board Stuck it in my pocket like a prayer, If I can't save the house, I can save the memory Turn what was here into a song Just dust on the porch Dust on the floor There's nothing left to save here I came home broken I came home wrong But my memories still remain Dust on the porch Dust on the porch There's not much left But I still know it was my home #urbancountry #moderncountry #reallifestories #evergreensongs #forestfire
