Savin' a Spot for You
Grandad had a thing for
Lookin' at the night sky
We'd take that old trail and
Hide from all the street lights
He made me promise that I wouldn't
Tell grandma that he smoked
Not sure the view or the weed
But something always made him choke
He'd tell me all the names as he
Made it through the milky way
And then he'd point to a spot
Say he'd be right there some day
He said when people leave
He knows they don't go far
He said that they live on
As the things that we call stars
He said his mommas up there
With her momma and daddy, too
And one of these days
I'll be savin' a spot for you
It was the first time that
I saw my daddy cry
I didn't understand
So he tried to explain why
He took me outside
Looked up at the sky and swore
That spot in the sky
Ain't ever held a star before
He said when people leave
He knows they don't go far
He said that they live on
As the things that we call stars
And now his daddy's up there
With his momma and daddy, too
And one of these days
I'll be savin' a spot for you
Its been a few long years
But i've learned the hard way
That they put more stars
In the sky each and every day
Yeah, my grandad had a thing
For lookin' at the night sky
And i've lost enough to
Finally understand why
He said when people leave
He knows they don't go far
He said that they live on
As the things that we call stars
So when I finally get
To where I'm goin' to
I'll be up there
Savin' a spot for you
Yeah, when I finally get
To where I'm goin' to
I'll be right there
Savin' a spot for you
Lookin' at the night sky
We'd take that old trail and
Hide from all the street lights
He made me promise that I wouldn't
Tell grandma that he smoked
Not sure the view or the weed
But something always made him choke
He'd tell me all the names as he
Made it through the milky way
And then he'd point to a spot
Say he'd be right there some day
He said when people leave
He knows they don't go far
He said that they live on
As the things that we call stars
He said his mommas up there
With her momma and daddy, too
And one of these days
I'll be savin' a spot for you
It was the first time that
I saw my daddy cry
I didn't understand
So he tried to explain why
He took me outside
Looked up at the sky and swore
That spot in the sky
Ain't ever held a star before

Savin' a spot for you
Yeah, when I finally get
To where I'm goin' to
I'll be right there
Savin' a spot for you
