OLD BLUE CHAIR

(To the tune of "Old Blue Chair" by Kenny Chesney)

(Verse One)

There’s a blue easy chair
Sitting in the den
Threadbare and worn
From the times there I’ve spent
Jumping up and down
Every time the Braves win
It seems to always be there
Like a beer-stained friend

CHORUS
Well I don’t read books
Only know a few songs
Don’t think much about life, where its going
Where its gone
But I can see NASCAR on Direct TV
And nothing compares
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it, to the way that I see it
When I sit
In that old blue chair

(Verse Two)

In that chair I've found
In its folds and its cracks
French fries and pizza
From days long past
Mined enough silver
For Slim Jims and Pabst
That old chair has sustained me
Through good times and bad


CHORUS
Well I don’t read books
Only know a few songs
Don’t think much about life, where its going
Where its gone
But I can see NASCAR on my monster TV
And nothing compares
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it, the way that I see it
When I sit
In that old blue chair

(Verse Three)

That chair’s been my bed
On more than one night
Passed out from a suitcase
Of Natural Lite
And when I woke up
Something didn’t seem right.... I swear
I’d found relief right there
In that old blue chair


CHORUS
Well I don’t read books
Only know a few songs
Don’t think much about life, where its going
Where its gone
But I can see NASCAR on my big ‘ol TV
And nothing compares
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it, the way that I see it
When I sit
In that old blue chair

(Verse Four)

My wife said to me,
“It’s either me or that chair.
It smells of pork rinds and cat food
And flatulent air
And old dirty laundry
And pee and dog hair.”
I’m sure gonna miss her
Here in my old blue chair

CHORUS
Well I don’t read books
Only know a few songs
Don’t think much of life, where its going
Where its gone
But I can see NASCAR on my eight-foot TV
And nothing compares
To the way that I see it, to the way that I see it, to the way that I see it
When I sit
In that old blue chair

(Final)

There’s a blue easy chair
Sitting in the den
Threadbare and worn
From the times there I’ve spent
