In the kitchen I can see it, all the table being set
But there's an empty chair, a void that we won't forget
Father's final moments, the wisdom he did impart
Echoing through the room, still resonating in our hearts
Now there's an empty chair, a memory we can't erase
An empty chair at the table, a void we can't replace
Keep his spirit alive, though he's no longer here
In our hearts he'll always stay forever near
He was a man of sacrifice, his life was on the road
Driving that old semi, so many miles he'd unload
That fateful day, he would make it back home
He died driving his life away, on that road all alone
Now there's an empty chair, a memory we can't erase
An empty chair at the table, a void we can't replace
Keep his spirit alive, though he's no longer here
In our hearts he'll always stay forever near
He was a man of sacrifice, his life was on the road
Driving that old semi, so many miles he'd unload
That fateful day, he would make it back home
He died driving his life away, on that road all alone
Now there's an empty chair, a memory we can't erase
An empty chair at the table, a void we can't replace
Keep his spirit alive, though he's no longer here
In our hearts he'll always stay forever near
