Table Five at Miller’s

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust on the glass
Watching those city miles pass
Ten years of concrete grey
Finally turning the car the other way
Goodbye to that high-rise view
I'm chasing a softer hue
[Pre-Chorus]
My heels are in a box
Underneath my wool socks
The skyline's getting small
I don't miss it at all
[Chorus]
Stopped at the old diner door
They don't serve coffee no more
I traded the quiet life
For a sharp office knife
But I’m finding my way back
To the gravel and the track
Contentment’s a gift you see
Right here in front of me
[Verse]
Peering through the dusty pane
Still see that coffee stain
On the counter at Table Five
Where I felt so alive
Before the marketing schemes
And the corporate-ladder dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
My soul was on the clock
Now I’m standing on the rock
The pressure starts to fade
In the cool of the shade
[Chorus]
Stopped at the old diner door
They don't serve coffee no more
I traded the quiet life
For a sharp office knife
But I’m finding my way back
To the gravel and the track
Contentment’s a gift you see
Right here in front of me
[Bridge]
It wasn't about the pay
Or the titles in the way
It’s the sunset on the corn
And the quiet of the morn
Happiness isn't a place
It’s the light on your face
[Hook]
Just a choice to notice
Keep my heart in focus
[Verse]
The banjo starts to ring
I hear the fiddle sing
My phone is finally still
Parked on the crest of the hill
The golden hour is deep
A promise I mean to keep
[Chorus]
Stopped at the old diner door
They don't serve coffee no more
I traded the quiet life
For a sharp office knife
But I’m finding my way back
To the gravel and the track
Contentment’s a gift you see
Right here in front of me
[Post-Chorus]
Small gifts in the dirt
Healing all the hurt
Small gifts in the light
Ending the long fight
[Outro]
