Rocking Chair

Rocking Chair

I’m staring at that old rocking chair
She came to me when Grandpa died, I was 7
And I’m bound for that old rocking chair
Just before I make my way to heaven (I’m going there for sure)

She has seen my whole life through
When things were looking up or I was blue
She has seen my days and my nights pass
From black & white to colorcast
Shining sun to overcast
Loosey-goosey girl gone hard and fast

Rocking chair oh rocking chair
You never fail to just be there
I wanna find you a home with a good back porch

She remembers my heart being broken
It wasn’t long after her arrival
I’m sure she questioned what caused me such pain
She was the key to my whole survival

Rocking chair oh rocking chair
You never fail to just be there
I wanna find you a home with a good back porch
Rocking chair oh rocking chair
You rock away all my cares
I wanna find you a porch with a gentle wind

Now she knows that I have come so far from there
20 years and then some is a long long time
I had so many stories I did share
With my sweet my sweet ol’ rocking chair

Rocking chair oh rocking chair
You never fail to just be there
I wanna find you a home on a good back porch
Rocking chair oh rocking chair
You rock away all my cares
I wanna find you a porch with a gentle wind

I’m staring at that old rocking chair
She came to me when Grandpa died I was 7
And I’m bound for that old rocking chair
Just before I make my way to heaven
