You Left My Chair

[Verse 1]
I built this house in fifteen years
Tongue and groove and tile and stone
I chose to raise my children here
I chose to make this house a home

[Verse 2]
I set this old, unwanted chair
Out of the sun, out on its own
And I spent my days just sittin' here
To enjoy the fruit my labor's grown

[Chorus]
And it held to its own
As the time passed it by
When you leave things alone
It's a wonder they survive
Weeds overgrown
The rooms are bare
But you left my chair

[Verse 3]
The risin' sun, the cars go by
Kids at play, the neighbors fight
I saw it all sittin' here alone
And I watched you runnin' from this throne

[Chorus]
And it held to its own
As the time passed it by
When you leave things alone
It's a wonder they survive
Weeds overgrown
The rooms are bare
But you left my chair

[Chorus]
And it held to its own
As the time passed it by
When you leave things alone
It's a wonder they survive
Weeds overgrown
The rooms are bare
But you left my chair

[Verse 1]
I built this house in fifteen years
It's been fifteen years since I've been gone
There's nothin' left but mem'ries here
Well, at least you left my chair alone
