Save Me a Seat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I still fold your chair back in When supper time rolls 'round Your boots sit by the porch step Like you're still in this town Mama keeps your Bible On the shelf beside the lamp And I hear your laugh in the screen door When the wind moves through the house [Pre-Chorus] But I saw the doctor nod And I watched your tired hands You smiled like you already knew That somewhere better waits [Chorus] Save me a seat By the river of gold Save me a seat When my road gets cold If heaven's your home Then I know you're free Save me a seat Right next to me (save me a seat) [Verse 2] The chairs on the back deck Still rock in the same old way Your coffee mug on Sunday Still catches the morning rays I trace your name in prayer And I don't ask why anymore 'Cause love don't stop at the graveyard gate It just walks through heaven's door [Pre-Chorus] You don't hurt anymore You don't fear the night You're singing with the angels now In a place where all is right [Chorus] Save me a seat By the river of gold Save me a seat When my road gets cold If heaven's your home Then I know you're free Save me a seat Right next to me (save me a seat) [Bridge] Some days I still reach for you Then I let my hand fall slow 'Cause I can almost feel you near In the things you loved below And when my time comes calling I won't be afraid to go I'll follow that trail of mercy Where your bright eyes already know [Final Chorus] Save me a seat By the river of gold Save me a seat When my road gets cold If heaven's your home Then I know you're free Save me a seat Right next to me Save me a seat Where the hurt can't be Save me a seat And wait on me (save me a seat)
