about

Last chorus:
"You & Me staring down the gloom
Angels smile at us in front of empty tombs
So much for all we tried...tried to hold onto
We've got the best seat in the room..."

I was looking for a good "Closer Song." Something to "tie all the loose ends together." Let the "band" jam the outro. A good conversation tween the guitars and the lap steel (which I learned a couple years ago.)
Here ya' go...
and "Thanks so Much" for listening! ~ bill

lyrics

BEST SEAT IN THE ROOM w&m Bill Mallonee c. 2021
admin by BMI
I'd just assume to let the whole thing ride
If it's all the same to you
if what you say falls on deaf ears?
Well there's not much you can do

You & Me
Staring down the gloom
Waters ripple beneath a blue moon
So much for all we tried...tried to hold onto
We've got the best seat in the room

Well, i came stumblin' in
I was scared, I was in flight
A little shaky, you might say, eyes darting left & right
I always come here as a beggar
with a heart just like a feather

I was baptized by the mountains,
the blue sky and the sea
ever since i began to crawl
The Spirit kissed my brow
beneath the waterfall

You & Me
Staring down the gloom
Waters ripple beneath a blue moon
So much for all we tried...tried to hold onto
We've got the best seat in the room
You & Me
Staring down the gloom
Angels smile at us in front of empty tombs
So much for all we tried...tried to hold onto
We've got the best seat in the room
Might be the best seat in the room
Might be the best seat in the room
