Verse
Barefoot kids on a worn wood floor
Don't think we ever locked the front door
Now it's lonesome on this little street
With the Curtains drawn it's hard to see

Pre-Chorus
Wish we could be neighbors again

Chorus
I'll leave the screen door open
See what the breeze blows in
Welcome my neighbors and their laughter
into my home again
I'll leave the screen door open
I'll leave the screen door open
I'll leave the screen door open
Don't knock just come on in

Verse
I’ll Put another rocker on the front porch
Sit in the swing and wave a little bit more
Next time I see you going for a walk
Hope you'll have a minute to talk

Chorus
So I'll leave the screen door open
See what the breeze blows in
Welcome my neighbors and their laughter
Into my home again
I'll leave the screen door open
Leave the screen door open
I'll leave the screen door open
Don't knock just come on in

Bridge
It don't take much
Little time, little trust
Maybe just leaving that door
open long enough

Chorus
So I'll leave the screen door open
I'll leave the screen door open
Welcome my neighbors and their laughter
into my heart again
I'll leave the screen door open
I'll leave the screen door open
I'll leave the screen door open
Don't knock just come on in

Outro
I'll leave the screen door open
Y'all just come on in
