George Jones – On The Back Row lyrics

Here I sit on the back row in a church down the street
Not too far from the place where we used to meet
But it's finally getting though to me you found someone you love
But I'll go back to the place I keep thinking of

It's not a fancy place just a tavern in the lonely part of town
Where lonely people find someone and hope to settle down
But fate dealt me the blow that I can't understand
Here I sit on the back row while you wed another man

You'd never dream but after many years I may still be sitting there
With just a bottle and two glasses right next to your favorite chair
For who knows, you might outlive him, he might even do you wrong
And there I'll sit in a tavern waiting for you all alone

It's not a fancy place just a tavern in the lonely part of town
Where lonely people find someone and hope to settle down
But fate dealt me the blow that I can't understand
Here I sit on the back row while you wed another man
