That Squeaky Chair

Sittin’ in the studio, guitar in my hand Got melodies runnin’, got lyrics I’ve planned But every time I lean, every time I shift That chair starts squeakin’, throwin’ me adrift Got a beat in my head, a story to tell But this dang ol’ chair, it’s raisin’ some hell Oh, it’s squeak, squeak, squeak – every time I write Breakin’ my focus in the dead of the night Tryin’ to pen gold, but it’s breakin’ my groove That squeaky chair’s got nothin’ to prove Thought about fixin’ it with a wrench or some oil But I’m lost in these lyrics, my blood starts to boil Got a hit in my heart, the chords are all right But that chair keeps singin’ its own tune tonight The lamp’s burnin’ low, the coffee’s gone cold But that squeaky ol’ chair is stealin’ the show Oh, it’s squeak, squeak, squeak – every time I write Breakin’ my focus in the dead of the night Tryin’ to pen gold, but it’s breakin’ my groove That squeaky chair’s got nothin’ to prove Maybe it’s tryin’ to tell me somethin’ real Like, slow down boy, don’t rush what you feel Or maybe it’s just an old chair past its prime But I’m chasin’ a dream, I don’t got the time Oh, it’s squeak, squeak, squeak – every time I write Breakin’ my focus in the dead of the night Tryin’ to pen gold, but it’s breakin’ my groove That squeaky chair’s got nothin’ to prove So I’ll sit here workin’, chair squeakin’ away Dreamin’ of a hit that the world might play One day I’ll fix it, but for now I’ll swear The star of this song is my squeaky chair ✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️✒️ Lyrics © 2025 Thousand Tomorrows.
