On The Back Row Lyrics - Del Reeves

Here I sit on the back row in a church down the street 

Not far from the place where we used to meet 

And it's finally getting through to me, you found the one you love 

I'll go back to the place I keep thinking of 

It's not a fancy place, just a tavern in the lonely part of town 

Where lonely people find someone and hope to settle down 

But fate dealt me a blow, that I can't understand 

And here I sit on the back row while you wed another man 

You'd never dreamed after many years, I may still be waiting there 

With just a bottle and two glasses right next to your favorite chair 

But who knows you might have left him, he might even do you wrong 

There I sit in a tavern waitin' for you all alone 

It's not a fancy place
