[Verse 1]
Here I sit on the back row in a church down the street
Not too far from the place where we used to meet
And it's finally gettin' through to me you found someone you love
But I'll go back to the place that I keep thinking of

[Chorus]
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 the blow that I can't understand
And here I sit on the back row while you wed another man

[Verse 2]
You'd never dream, but after many years, I may still be sittin' there
With just a bottle and two glasses right next to your favorite chair
For who knows, you might outlive him, and he might even do you wrong
And there I'll sit in a tavern, waitin' for you all alone

[Chorus]
And 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 the blow that I can't understand
Here I sit on the back row, while you wed another man
