Well, here I sit on the back road in a church down the street
Not too far from the place that we used to meet
But it's finally getting through 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 a lonely part of town
Where lonely people meet
Try to find someone and settle down
But fate dealt me the blow that I can't understand
Here I sit on the back road while you wed another man
You never dreamed, 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 a lonely part of town
Where lonely people meet
Try to find someone and settle down
But fate dealt me the blow that I can't understand
Here I sit on the back road while you wed another man
Here I sit on the back road while you wed another man
