Three Seats, Three Stories

[Verse] In the age of kings long gone Where swords would clash and roar Lands were tamed from dusk till dawn Under banners knights once swore [Verse 2] Through the mist on cobbled streets Whispers carried far and near Legends told where shadows meet Echoed loud in hearts sincere [Chorus] Oh the hearth still burns tonight With the glow of battles past Songs of heroes take their flight Their legacy shall forever last [Bridge] From the mountains cold and steep To the meadows soft and wide Oaths were made and truths were deep With their honor as their guide [Verse 3] Lanterns lit the midnight sky As the minstrel strummed his chord Life of kings who do not die Still sung around the hallowed board [Chorus] Oh the hearth still burns tonight With the glow of battles past Songs of heroes take their flight Their legacy shall forever last

[Verse] The train rolled in at the break of dawn Three soldiers returned, but one was gone A flag-draped box was all that stayed In a mother’s arms, her tears were laid [Verse] The second one came on wheels of steel Lost his legs on a foreign field He smiled faintly, said “I’m still here” But his hollow laugh betrayed his fear [Chorus] Three seats taken, but hearts torn apart One’s in the ground, one’s got a broken start And one’s just wandering a battlefield plain Three soldiers home, but none the same [Verse] The last stepped off with a distant stare Breathing home’s air, but he wasn’t there His hands still shook from the fight he'd seen Lost in the smoke of where he’d been [Bridge] The town lined up, flags held high But couldn’t meet the soldier’s eye For one was gone, one battered and torn And one just wished he’d never been born [Chorus] Three seats taken, but hearts torn apart One’s in the ground, one’s got a broken start And one’s just wandering a battlefield plain Three soldiers home, but none the same

Verse 1 When your mom and dad heard the news We were already loving you After all that we’ve been through You brought joy into our lives Chorus I love you to the moon and back My favorite place to be is where your at I’ll spend my life giving everything I have I love you to the moon and back Verse 2 Here’s to a brand new start Your already changing hearts Take all the riches and fame They don’t compare the same To you Chorus I love you to the moon and back My favorite place to be is where your at I’ll spend my life giving everything I have I love you to the moon and back Bridge When talkin bout the moon I ain’t talkin bout the one up in the sky at night It’s all just their for show It can’t out do your shine Chorus I love you to the moon and back My favorite place to be is where your at I’ll spend my life giving everything I have I love you to the moon and back Outro I love you to the moon and back I love you to the moon and back

[Verse] Three young men in their Sunday best, Left this town with pride in their chest. One in a box, draped in the flag's embrace, Guess fate don’t always leave a trace. [Verse 2] Tommy came home, but he left his legs, Sitting in a chair while the old porch creaks. Tells his kids tall tales, but in his voice a crack, Every step he lost, he carries on his back. [Chorus] Three shadows standing tall on the hill, One’s gone silent, one fights still. One walks but never truly roams, Three soldiers, three different homes. [Verse 3] Billy, he came back but he ain’t the same, A stranger now to his own name. Eyes like glass, searching for a past, Haunted by the echo of a gunshot blast. [Bridge] The town throws parades, waves flags in the air, But can’t mend hearts or fix the scare. For freedom ain't free, that's the old refrain, But someone always pays the pain. [Chorus] Three shadows standing tall on the hill, One’s gone silent, one fights still. One walks but never truly roams, Three soldiers, three different homes.

[Verse] The schoolyard flag at half-mast flies, For the soldier who gave his life under skies, They bring him home in a flag-draped chest, A small-town hero laid to rest. [Verse 2] The second man rolls through on steel wheels, His world’s gone quiet, but the pain feels real, A hometown boy in a battle-torn shell, Living proof of some kind of hell. [Chorus] Three boots on the ground, but life's not the same, War takes its toll; it plays a cruel game, One’s laid to rest, one can’t ever stand, And one’s lost in ghosts he can't understand. [Verse 3] The third one stares at the county line, His body's here, but not his mind, He drinks alone 'til the bottle's dry, With haunted whispers and a thousand-mile cry. [Bridge] Mama’s tears fall every Sunday pew, Their stories blend, it don’t feel new, Prayers rise up for sons torn apart, But a war leaves scars on every heart. [Verse 4] And in the yard, three stones now stand, For three brothers who once shared this land, Different paths, but the bitter truth's the same, That not all who return can escape the pain.

Verse I know i was wrong how i treated you I didnt treat you right didnt do what i needed to I wouldnt blame you for walking out on me Ive been a fool not to see All the things that we could be Chorus: I don’t wanna look out the window I might not see your pretty face I just might see you leaving, putting me in my place I might see you putting your bags in the car and driving away So before you get to the point where you gotta go Baby I just want you to know I’m not gonna look out the window Bridge I got no reason for doing what i did If youll forgive me and give me one more chance Before I lose you tonight Its time I make things right Chorus: I don’t wanna look out the window I might not see your pretty face I just might see you leaving, putting me in my place I might see you putting your bags in the car and driving away So before you get to the point where you gotta go Baby I just want you to know I’m not gonna look out the window

Verse 1 I’m trying to get over you But nothing works no matter what I do Tonight I’m hoping something gives But it’s like raising the dead and making it live Got my windows down cruisin in the wind Hoping I can clean up the mess I’m in Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Verse 2 It ain’t like you didn’t tell me How you’d feel if I done you wrong But I didnt listen to what you said Now im putting the words into this song What I should of told you all along How much you mean to me Just wasn’t enough to not make you leave Cause my actions were louder And that’s what you see Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow Bridge I hope your doing better these days Found you a man who makes you wanna stay Chorus That’s what they don’t tell you When you break a woman’s heart Your left trying to put back together What you tore a part But it don’t work like it use to There’s a scar because of you I would’ve done better if I knew What I know now I wish I could unbreak your heart somehow

Verse 1 There’s a lot of people who come into your life They leave a mark like a cut from a knife Sometimes you wonder when they’re gone They leave a hole bigger than the sun Then you want to have them back When they were here why did you never tell them that Chorus How much they mean to you You wouldn’t know what to do If something happened to them Don’t waste a minute of time Talking to the ones in your life Verse 2 There’s things I never said Then one day you were gone to soon Yeah Words unspoken are the proof How important they really were To you Chorus How much they mean to you You wouldn’t know what to do If something happened to them Don’t waste a minute of time Talking to the ones in your life Bridge So hold them tight and don’t let go Let go of hurt cause if you don’t You just never know Chorus How much they mean to you You wouldn’t know what to do If something happened to them Don’t waste a minute of time Talking to the ones in your life Chorus How much they mean to you You wouldn’t know what to do If something happened to them Don’t waste a minute of time Talking to the ones in your life

When your in love it hurts When the one don’t love you back You’ll do everything to work To be where she’s at You’ll give everything you have Hoping she will come around But sometimes they let you down Break your heart and they leave town Chorus I want so bad for her to love me I want her to see what I see But I don’t think I’ll ever be The one she wants to come home to Maybe she will realize her mistake Going through this heartbreak Verse 2 It’s probably best that I move on Change the lyrics and write a brand new song But I’m afraid to let her go Apart of me just wants to know Maybe things can change If she comes back things won’t be the same Chorus I want so bad for her to love me I want her to see what I see But I don’t think I’ll ever be The one she wants to come home to Maybe she will realize her mistake Going through this heartbreak Bridge This heart of mine has been through a lot here’s to hoping she’ll give me a shot Chorus I want so bad for her to love me I want her to see what I see But I don’t think I’ll ever be The one she wants to come home to Maybe she will realize her mistake Going through this heartbreak Outro Hey darlin if your hearing this I just have one last wish Chorus I want so bad for you to love me I want you to see what I see But I don’t think I’ll ever be The one you want to come home to Maybe she will realize her mistake Going through this heartbreak
