YOU SAVED ME A CHAIR

[Verse 1] I rolled in late Dust on my boots Missed the first dance Missed the pie booth Missed Earl's speech Thank the Lord for that mess Then I saw that chair By the firelight set Half the crowd was gone Half was settling in The kind of hour where strangers Start feeling like friends [Pre-Chorus] And I knew right then I was in the clear No need to explain Just pull up here [Chorus] You saved me a chair By the firelight glow You saved me a chair Now I'm part of the show You saved me a chair And that's all I need (Saved me a chair) I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be You saved me a chair And a place to belong Funny how a little kindness Can carry you along [Verse 2] I hit the cooler Grabbed a cold one down Took one look at Toby And sat myself right down I said tell me Everything I missed He just laughed and leaned in Like this was gonna fix it One story turned To a hundred more And every one got better Than the one before [Pre-Chorus] The night got deeper The porch light burned Some lessons ain't taught They're quietly learned [Chorus] You saved me a chair By the firelight glow You saved me a chair Now I'm part of the show You saved me a chair And that's all I need (Saved me a chair) I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be You saved me a chair And a reason to stay Sometimes that's enough To change a whole day [Bridge] Not late Not lost Just rolled in slow Following roads Only my old truck knows Some folks save a seat Some folks save your pride Some folks leave a little light For when you arrive [Final Chorus] You saved me a chair By the firelight glow You saved me a chair Now I'm part of the show You saved me a chair And that's all I need (Saved me a chair) I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be You saved me a chair When the long road ran far Sometimes home ain't a place It's the people you are [Outro] The fire burned low The stars hung there Nobody made a big thing of it They just saved me a chair
