📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The paper came down off the window today
Three dark doors got a little warm glow
Somebody swept all the dust from the way
And the old line started moving slow

[Pre-Chorus]
We have all lost a light on the corner
We have all watched a good thing close
But a skillet can sound like thunder
When the second chance gets close

[Chorus]
Three doors frying again
Hear that screen door sing
What went cold is waking up
With flour on its wings
Three doors frying again
Put the chairs back in a line
Some places do not die
They just wait for the sign v10

[Verse 2]
There is a name scratched under the counter
There is a laugh in the tile by the wall
There is a kid with a pocket full of quarters
Now grown and bringing his own kids along

[Pre-Chorus]
You can board up a room for a season
You can kill the hum in the wire
But hunger remembers directions
And hope knows the smell of fire

[Chorus]
Three doors frying again
Hear that screen door sing
What went cold is waking up
With flour on its wings
Three doors frying again
Put the chairs back in a line
Some places do not die
They just wait for the sign

[Bridge]
Let the grease pop like a little revival
Let the old bell shake off the rain
We are not asking for a miracle
Just one good thing back by name

[Fiddle Break]

[Final Chorus]
Three doors frying again
Hear that screen door sing
What went cold is waking up
With flour on its wings
Three doors frying again
Turn the open light to shine
Some places do not die
They just wait for the sign
They just wait for the sign
