House Band (Live In Studio)

(альбом: While You're Gone - 2020)

10 o'clock news on the TV
Water dripping in the kitchen, hitting that metal sink
Batteries dead in the smoke alarm
Second hand ticking, slipping, missing gears like an old car

I gotta front row seat to a sad old song
But ain't choking on smoke in some honky tonk
Got an ice cold beer and a few regrets
And a whole lotta hurt I ain't got to yet
'Cause she's gone and I'm all alone
Here listening to the sound of goodbye
While I'm sitting here wishing she was on her way back
But she ain't, so here I am
With this damn house band

It's crazy how loud the quiet gets
It ain't going away, taking breaks or any requests
But I'll still be right here all night
With the ceiling fan humming and the buzzing of the back porch light

Yeah, I gotta front row seat to a sad old song
But ain't choking on smoke in some honky tonk
Got an ice cold beer and a few regrets
And a whole lotta hurt I ain't got to yet
'Cause she's gone and I'm all alone
Here listening to the sound of goodbye
While I'm sitting here wishing she was on her way back
But she ain't, so here I am
With this damn house band

And it echoes through the walls
In my head and down the hall

I gotta front row seat to a sad old song
But ain't choking on smoke in some honky tonk
Got an ice cold beer and a few regrets
And a whole lotta hurt I ain't got to yet
'Cause she's gone and I'm all alone
Here listening to the sound of goodbye
While I'm sitting here wishing she was on her way back
But she ain't, so here I am
With this damn house band
Damn this house band
