Welcome Mat Songtext / Lyric

This old house ain't what it was before

Boarded up windows and an old screen door

Grass has grown up and the roofs falling down

Nobody's coming around



I laid my life down just to have your love

You just wiped your feet and left me the dust

You never even noticed when you turned to leave

You were walking all over me



Like a welcome mat sitting on the front porch, lady

I'm just waiting around, it's driving me crazy

Stomped on, dirty, feeling lonely and laid out flat

Like a welcome mat



The paints peeling off that front porch swing

There's a busted out light and chimes that still ring

A dead potted plant and an old rocking chair

Just a place where you once cared






I laid my life down just to have your love

You just wiped your feet and left me the dust

You never even noticed when you turned to leave

That you were walking all over me



Like a welcome mat sitting on the front porch lady

I'm just waiting around, it's driving me crazy

Stomped on, dirty, feeling lonely and laid out flat

Like a welcome mat



Seasons changing

Rain will fall

But I'll still wait 'til you come home



Like a welcome mat sitting on the front porch lady

I'm just waiting around, it's driving me crazy

Stomped on, dirty, feeling lonely and laid out flat



Like a welcome mat sitting on the front porch lady

I'm just waiting around, it's driving me crazy

Stomped on, dirty, feeling lonely and laid out flat

Oooh like a welcome mat

Oooh like a welcome mat

Ooooh yeah

Oooh like a welcome mat
