empty seat
by tom sless & clifton jennings rhoad
southbound, backwoods, Mississippi
left turns, birthdays, i’ve been missing
friends back home, we don’t talk much
we all got phones, still lost touch
migrate, drive straight, it’s getting colder
threads fray, dams break, hearts wander
writing fake names in my songs
til the right one comes along
changing lanes on state highways
sat beside an empty seat
chasin’ far away horizons
flying, no copilot
no adventure feels complete
sat beside an empty seat
i can hear ‘em saying
“you can’t complain you chose the lifestyle”
but since when did we give up on being
wild and free
nowhere to be
settling down ain’t got what we need, no
why should that mean i die alone
i bet somewhere on the road
a girl’s getting lost intentionally
keeping one eye out for me
changing lanes on state highways
sat beside an empty seat
chasin’ far away horizons
flying, no copilot
no adventure feels complete
sat beside an empty seat
i’ve seen eagles soar together
i’ve seen dolphins roam in pairs
i know someday, oh someday
i’ll see her somewhere out there
changing lanes on state highways
sat beside an empty seat
chasin’ far away horizons
i’ll be her copilot
cuz no adventure feels complete
sat beside an empty seat
sat beside an empty seat
sat beside an empty seat
an empty seat
