Lyrics
Yeah Gravel lot behind the chapel Six hours of road in my bones Tie balled up in my fist Boots still caked with mud from home Organ's warming through the wall I'm perched here on a fence rail Three birthdays come and gone Not one card, not one phone call Then the groom steps out, hat in his hand Don't ask where I've been, he just says "She saved you a seat" Front pew, on the aisle Like she never counted all the times I failed She saved me a seat Kept her hand on the wood Like she knew I'd come around Oh, she saved me a seat I said, "Man, I wouldn't blame her If she wanted me to go." He said, "Sister's been wearing Your old dog tags on a string, you know." I had a speech all ready About the jobs and the bad luck Swallowed every word of it Just stood there, feeling small and stuck So I wiped my face on my sleeve Pulled that tie up tight, and he said "She saved you a seat" Front pew, on the aisle Like she never counted all the times I failed She saved me a seat Kept her hand on the wood Like she knew I'd come around Oh, she saved me a seat I don't deserve it Lord, I know I don't But she saved me a seat She saved me a seat Front pew, on the aisle Like she never counted all the times I failed She saved me a seat Kept her hand on the wood Like she knew I'd come around Oh, she saved me a seat She saved me a seat
