Contemporary country/Folk
Verse]I've gotta role that's demanding
I'm the last man that's now standing
With my old failing memory
left to tell tales of the other three.
[Verse]I'm not going to dig up dirt
that kinda stuff only leads to hurt
Or reveal secrets only told to me
pals in life are still pals and always be
[Chorus]There's three empty chairs in the bar
I'm sitting here on my own tonight
I can still see each of their faces
feel the sting of a tear I've had to fight
There's three empty chairs here tonight
you're safe with me old friends my lips are tight
[ Bridge ] Billy you were the joker, sadly the first to go
Mike and Bobby soon followed you.
Please if its god will-
Its not yet my time to go.
[Instrumental ]
[ Verse]
I was seriously concerned today
what will happen come my day?
Preacher euligising won't know me
and a good thing he didn't know you three!
Chorus]There's three empty chairs in the bar
I'm sitting here on my own tonight
I can still see each of their faces
feel the sting of a tear I've had to fight
There's three empty chairs here tonight
you're safe with me old friends my lips are tight
