The Only Seat Left

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Dust on my boots from the arena that night Rope still coiled up, belt buckle shining bright Only one seat left in that crowded bar No way of knowing I'd found my star Sat down beside you, didn't know your name But something told me nothing'd be the same [Chorus] You're the reason I believe in fate The one worth every mile and every wait Through thirty years of building something true Every good thing leads me back to you My heart, my home, my everything [Verse 2] Your girlfriend at the bank just smiled and said She'd give your number up if I just asked You'd already told her I could call Ann, you wanted me to find you after all From that first hello to the life we've made I'd choose that barstool every single day [Chorus] You're the reason I believe in fate The one worth every mile and every wait Through thirty years of building something true Every good thing leads me back to you My heart, my home, my everything [Bridge] We raised the walls of our dream house together Built it strong enough to stand through any weather Ann, you took a roughed-up cowboy's hand And made me into something of a man [Verse 3] Campfire glowing underneath the pines Your head on my shoulder, tangled up in time I'd rub your tired feet until you'd sleep Every little promise that I'd keep Ann, you're the blessing I don't deserve But I'll spend forever giving you my word [Chorus] You're the reason I believe in fate The one worth every mile and every wait Through thirty years of building something true Every good thing leads me back to you My heart, my home, my everything [Outro] One empty seat in a crowded room Led me straight to you, led me straight to you
