A screen door, kettle and waking dog lead toward a hand and a band. The bridge sets crowns and grand towns aside for half a moon. At the end, the refrain changes life to home: the same door now carries a more particular welcome.
The country-bluegrass brief gives fiddle and banjo answering roles. A banjo is a plucked string instrument with a membrane head; a busy part can still leave room for words. Follow a small hook into the instrumental section. A band in the lyric does not establish a live performance.

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
The screen door swings.
The kettle sings.
Your boots come down.
You're back in town.
The dog wakes up.
I find your cup.
You grin at me.
I turn the key.
[Chorus]
Swing that door,
one time more.
Come on in.
Let the night begin.
Swing that door,
one time more.
Tap your feet.
Life can be this sweet.
[Verse 2]
The fiddle calls.
The daylight falls.
You take my hand.
We find the band.
The floor is worn.
The moon is born.
You grin at me.
I sing off-key.
[Chorus]
Swing that door,
one time more.
Come on in.
Let the night begin.
Swing that door,
one time more.
Tap your feet.
Life can be this sweet.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
No silver crown.
No fancy town.
A little tune
and half a moon.
We take it slow.
Then let it go.
One step, then two.
I'm here with you.
[Final Chorus]
Swing that door,
one time more.
Come on in.
Let the night begin.
Swing that door,
one time more.
Tap your feet.
Home can be this sweet.
[Instrumental Outro]
