Table for One
Rodney Henson
"Here's a song about spending your life chasing a dream,
only to find out it was never your dream to begin with"
[Verse 1]
A
She was twenty-five when she sent him away
She had places to go and things to say
D A D A
She was a rising star, ready to set sail
E D A D A
Off to New York City where she knew she couldn't fail
[Verse 2]
A
She found a steady job with steady pay
She worked real hard as she made her way
D A D A
Year after year she climbed and never looked down
E D A D A
When she hit the glass ceiling it all came crashing down
[Chorus]
D
Wasted years and wasted time
A
Nothing to show, barely a dime
E
Fighting the cause, mad as hell
A
Burning bridges, blazing trails
D
She played her part, she played it well
E
She was a shooting star
A
No room to fail
[Verse 3]
A
She picked herself up and shouted 'not today'
Demanded respect, demanded equal pay
D A D A
Ten more years, less tears, and breaking some balls
E D A D A
She busted the ceiling, hung her pictures on the wall
[Verse 4]
A
She raised a glass, gave a toast to them all
To every woman, to every brawl
D A D A
This one's for you, today is our day
E D A D A
I did it all for you, to win you gotta play
[Chorus]
D
Wasted years and wasted time
A
Nothing to show, barely a dime
E
Fighting the cause, mad as hell
A
Burning bridges, blazing trails
D
She played her part, she played it well
E
She was the shining star
A
She didn't fail
[Verse 5]
A
She sat ALL alone at a table for two
It had been twenty-five years, and his eyes were blue
D A D A
At the top of the world, but she couldn't remember his name
E D A D A
Lost in New York City but she'd found fortune and fame
And then she closed her eyes
[Verse 6]
A
She was twenty-five when she said 'I do'
They had girls and boys some eyes were blue
D A D A
She learned to build bridges, in her home town
E D A D A
She kissed them all goodnight while the rain came falling down
[Chorus]
D
Wasted years and wasted time
A
Nothing to show, barely a dime
E
Fighting the cause, mad as hell
A
Burning bridges, blazing trails
D
She played her part, she played it well
E
She was a flickering star
A
Without a tail
[Outro]
A
All alone at the bar at night
Looking down at the city light
D A D A
Bartender said, this is your last round
E D A D A
Tears in her eyes, as it all came crashing down
E D A
Tears in her eyes, as it all came crashing down
