StudioMac Sounds is me, Mitch Townley. I am a Children's Pastor from Knoxville, TN. I have been writing seriously since 2003. It has become a wonderful hobby and a way to let my daughter Kristen (20) do some recording with her wonderful voice. I hope you enjoy my collection of Christian, country and comedy songs. Thanks to my many friends who have written the music for, played instruments on, and sung on these cuts.

Lyrics

This Empty Chair

YOU’D NEVER GUESS DAD WAS DYIN’
TO HEAR HIM TALK ABOUT THE BRAVES
AS I WALKED IN HE WAS RANTIN’
HOW THEY BLEW LAST NIGHT’S GAME
I TRIED TO SIT ON A CANE CHAIR
BUT DAD JUST SHOOK HIS HEAD
SAID SON THIS ONE’S TAKEN 
SIT OVER THERE INSTEAD

(chorus)
IT’S JUST AN EMPTY CHAIR
BUT I PICTURE GOD SIT’S THERE
HE WHISPERS DON’T BE SCARED
HE’S GONNA SEE ME THRU
WE TALK LIKE TWO OLD FRIENDS
HOW EVERYTHING HAS TO END
	DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME
I GOT ALL I NEED RIGHT HERE   
ON THIS EMPTY CHAIR

HE LAUGHED DON’T TELL MAMA
SHE ALREADY THINKS I’M NUTS
IF SHE KNOWS I’M TALKIN’ TO THIN AIR
SHE’S BOUND TO RAISE A FUSS
SON, YOU KNOW THIS DYIN’S
LIKE STEPPIN’ OFF OF A CLIFF
BUT AS LONG AS THIS CHAIR’S RIGHT HERE
I KNOW I CAN DO IT

(chorus)
REPEAT CHORUS

(bridge) 
HIS ROOM SEEMS SO QUIET 
NOW THAT DADDY’S GONE 
BUT I DROP IN
EVERY NOW AND THEN
TO ASK HOW HE’S GETTIN’ ON

(chorus2)
IT’S JUST AN EMPTY CHAIR
BUT I PICTURE GOD SITS THERE
HE SAYS MY DADDY’S NEAR
AND GRINNIN’ ALL THE TIME 
WE TALK LIKE TWO OLD FRIENDS
ABOUT A LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS
I GOT ALL I NEED 
THERE’S MORE THAN I CAN SEE RIGHT HERE
ON THIS EMPTY CHAIR
