My Chair

7/20/25

I carry a chair from the car
front of stage is where we are
I get up and when I get back
in my seat is where you sat

I’m quiet and too polite
won’t say that chair is mine
keep the rage in my head
with the things I wish I said

[chorus]
Why you sit in my chair
Why don’t you sit over there
Move your derriere
Why you sit in my chair
Why you sit in my chair
Why don’t you sit over there
Move your derriere
get out of my chair

still standing over here
forcing me to hold my beer
making a plan of attack
how to get my chair back

practicing my patience
while I serve you libations
count your drinks watch the time
soon that chair will be all mine

[chorus]

[chorus]

7/18/25

lugged a chair from the car
all the way to where we are
buy a drink I turn my back
return to see where you sat

question stays in my head
with the rage not said
stay quiet I’m too polite
to say that chair is mine

[chorus]
Why you sit in my chair?
you can sit over there
Move your derriere
get out of my chair
Why you sit in my chair?
you can sit over there
Move your derriere
get out of my chair

I’m standing over here
forced to hold my beer
make a plan of attack
how to get my chair back

serving you libations
practicing my patience
count your drinks watch the time
soon that chair will be mine
