Lyrics:

                                                  
Verse
Barefoot kids on a worn wood floor 
Don't think we ever locked the front door
Sweet tea sweating on the windowsill
Waiting for someone coming up the hill
Didn't need a reason, didn't need a plan
Just a hey y'all and a helping hand

Verse 
Now it's lonesome on this little street
With the Curtains drawn it's hard to see
We got opinions, got our pride
Let’s put all of that aside 
It’s not worth losing good friends
Why can’t we all 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
There may be a fence between our yards
Let’s build a gate it won’t be hard

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
