Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) The neon’s humming a low, lonesome tune Like it’s trying to talk to the man on the moon I’m sitting right here where I sat yesterday Watching the door in that same old way The barkeep don't ask, he just fills up the glass He knows that I’m waiting for shadows to pass He thinks that I’m lonely, he thinks that I’m blue But he don't know the secret I’m keeping from you. (Chorus) 'Cause this is the coldest seat in the house Since you left me here for a ghost and a mouse They say that I’m crazy, they say I’ve lost track But I’m just staying warm 'til you finally come back Yeah, the whiskey is burning, but I’m still a stone In the coldest seat that a man’s ever known. (Verse 2) I still got your picture tucked inside my coat Right next to that final, heartbreaking note The one where you told me we’re better apart That you were just taking a piece of my heart Well, I read it each morning to keep me awake And I toast to the promise I know you won't break You said "I’ll see you later," and "later" is now I’m just waiting for someone to show me just how. (Chorus) In the coldest seat in the house Since you left me here for a ghost and a mouse They say that I’m crazy, they say I’ve lost track But I’m just staying warm 'til you finally come back Yeah, the whiskey is burning, but I’m still a stone In the coldest seat that a man’s ever known. (Bridge) (Spoken in a low, gravelly voice over a weeping steel guitar) You know, they tell me the seasons have changed out there. They say the snow’s melted and the roses are starting to bloom. But in here, under these buzzing lights... it’s still mid-December. (Guitar Solo - Heavy Steel Guitar and Fiddle) (Outro) Yeah, the whiskey is burning, but I’m still a stone... Just a man... sitting all alone... In the coldest seat... In the house. (Fade out with a final, mournful fiddle note)
