[English]

I see his face sometimes out there in the crowd

In between the melodies, he's asking me when I'm coming home

After all the lights come on

After all the folks are gone

I hit the road and close my eyes

And I imagine I'm

Walking through the front door

Hearing "Daddy" at the top of his lungs

With his feet on the wood floor

Runnin' up to give me a hug

Yeah, that's what it's all for

And the spotlight can't replace it

In a heartbeat, man, I'd trade it

'Cause it ain't got nothing on bein' front-door-famous

Soon as I get home, seems like I'm gone again

Walking out the driveway

I see his face pressed against the screen door

Teddy bear and a juice pack

Saying, "Daddy, please come back"

It tears me up every time

And I can't wait 'til I'm

Walking through the front door

Hearing "Daddy" at the top of his lungs

And his feet on the wood floor

Runnin' up to give me a hug

Yeah, that's what it's all for

The spotlight can't replace it

And in a heartbeat, man, I'd trade it

'Cause it ain't got nothing on bein' front-door-famous

Right now, I'm 50 miles away from that state line

And I ain't slowin' down until I'm on that porch, and I'm

Walking through the front door

Hearing "Daddy" at the top of his lungs

With his feet on the wood floor

Runnin' up to give me a hug

Yeah, that's what it's all for

And the spotlight can't replace it

And in a heartbeat, man, I'd trade it

'Cause it ain't got nothing on bein' front-door-famous
