[Verse 1] Dust on the window Boots by the mat Rent due Monday Ain’t no way around that Fridge got a hum But it don’t speak back I sit with my thoughts In a chair gone slack One arm bent low Like it held too much Wood in my bones And a life I trust Clock on the wall Ticks like a grin I tell myself I’ll get up again [Pre-Chorus] But the room stays still And my name feels small I lean back slow Let the cracks say it all [Chorus] Old rockin chair Hold me there Old rockin chair I been everywhere Old rockin chair Don’t you care? Old rockin chair Save me there (save me there) [Verse 2] Mama used to sing By the stove in June Now I count the days By a busted tune Postcards fade In a drawer like dust Old friend calls once Then the line goes cold and cuts Coffee tastes thin When the morning bites I wear that grin Like an old black coat at night Bills stack high Like they want my head Still I rock that chair Till the hurt goes dead [Pre-Chorus] And the floorboards groan With a familiar sound I’m not lost, just tired Spinning low to the ground [Chorus] Old rockin chair Hold me there Old rockin chair I been everywhere Old rockin chair Don’t you care? Old rockin chair Save me there (save me there) [Bridge] When the rain comes down On this busted frame I hear every loss Call me by my name If I stand too fast I might break in two So I sway right here Like I’m meant to do [Chorus] Old rockin chair Hold me there Old rockin chair I been everywhere Old rockin chair Don’t you care? Old rockin chair Save me there (save me there)
