[Intro]
I've always prayed for a porch light
To keep me from losin' my way in the dark
I finally found it in your eyes
My northern star (My northern star)

[Verse 1]
You in your white lace, me in my jet black
Tin cans tied to the back of a Cadillac
You're what I dreamed, you're what I hoped for
Down on my knees, asked the good Lord for
For

[Chorus]
I've always prayed for a porch light
To keep me from losin' my way in the dark
I finally found it in your eyes
Leadin' me home like a northern star
It doesn't matter where I am
You know my heart is where you are
Burnin' like fire in the night sky
My northern star, my northern star

[Post-Chorus]
Shine on
Shine on
[Verse 2]
I can't promise roads won't wind us
Clouds won't chase and storms won't find us
But I'll be your rock, you be my compass
We'll never stop knowin' where love is
Is

[Chorus]
I've always prayed for a porch light
To keep me from losin' my way in the dark
I finally found it in your eyes
Leadin' me home like a northern star
It doesn't matter where I am
You know my heart is where you are (My heart is where you are, yeah)
Burnin' like fire in the night sky
My northern star, my northern star

[Post-Chorus]
Shine on (My northern star, my northern star)
Shine on (My northern star, my northern star)
(Shine on) It doesn't matter where I am
(Shine on) You know my heart is where you are
My northern star, my northern star

[Outro]
I've always prayed for a porch light
To keep me from losin' my way in the dark
