Cheap Seats Lyrics by Emily Scott Robinson

American Siren

2021

[Verse 1]
Oh I've been right where you are
Puttin' miles on my car, drivin' to some dead end job each day
Smilin' for my tips, pickin' up those extra shifts
Waitressing all my best years away
[Pre-Chorus]
Some nights I'll buy a ticket and sit alone
In the mother church up in the highest row
[Chorus]
I'm in the cheap seats watchin' the big show
Hopin' that one day I'll look back and know
That every big dream and every heart prayer
And every long road would deliver me up there
Singin' for the cheap seats
Singin' for the cheap seats
[Verse 2]
Half way through a busy night I get a song idea to write
And I slip out back to get the chorus down
Now table twenty-eight is complainin' about the wait
And my manager just shakes his head and frowns
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't let them have the best of me
One day I'll quit this job and then they'll see
[Chorus]
I'm in the cheap seats watchin' the big show
Hopin' that one day I'll look back and know
That every big dream and every heart prayer
And every long road would deliver me up there
Singin' for the cheap seats
Singin' for the cheap seats
[Verse 3]
I'm so hungry I can taste it, want so badly just to make it
I got a thousand songs inside me left to write
Got to find my voice and use it, set true north and do not lose it
And keep that candle burnin' through the night
[Pre-Chorus]
And I want everything before I'm ready
And it'll only come once I am standin' steady
[Chorus]
Here's to the cheap seats, now I'm the big show
I wish I could go back and tell that girl that I know
That every big dream and every heart prayer
And every long road would deliver me up there
Singin' for the cheap seats
Singin' for the cheap seats
[Outro]
Yeah here's to the cheap seats
Yeah here's to the cheap seats
