The Chair Lyrics

And I remain there

In my ol' chair

Sitting and drinkin'

While the sun dips down

Over the yard and town

It got me thinking

Gotta leave my possessions

Leave here for a lesson

Where the only suitcase is me

And by God's good grace

There was a time and place

Where you and I used to be

And the next day's new

Nothing better to do

Than to chase that American dream

The heartbreaking stories

To the moments of glory

We're tougher than we seem

Can't get much better

You're a real go getter

Gotta run until the tank is dry

The only thing I know

Is the way I will go

Gotta spread these wings and fly

And I sat there

In my ol' chair

Sippin' my last drink and

While the sun dips down

Over the house and town

It got me thinking

Gotta leave my possessions

Leave here for a lesson

Where the only suitcase is me

And by God's good grace

There was a time and place

Where you and I could be

Your life will choose

How much you lose

I won't be one of them

For you're a real tough fighter

About as rough as hard cider

Crazy from roots to stem

Sometimes it can seem

When you're light doesn't gleam

It's dark as the night is black

But with this photo I knew

Got a clear, perfect view

To help me put the pieces back

And I stood there

Got up from my chair

Finished my last sip and

While the sun dips down

Over the room and town

It got me thinking

Gotta leave my possessions

Leave here for a lesson

Where the only suitcase is me

And by God's good grace

There was a time and place

Where you and I will be
