Song Description
Save Me a Place is a reflective folk ballad about friendship, memory, and the promise that bonds don't end just because the road bends. Set beneath a wide night sky and anchored by the warmth of a shared campfire, the song carries a sense of farewell without finality--more "see you down the trail" than goodbye.
With imagery drawn from open fields, old pine trees, and late-night conversations, the song honors the people who shape us and stay with us, even as time and distance pull us in different directions. It's a tribute to loyalty, shared history, and the quiet comfort of knowing there's always a place kept for you.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Underneath the wide and starry sky,
We rode together, you and I,
Through fields of gold, where the wild winds blow,
Now I'm praying, oh, don't let go.
(Chorus)
Save me a place at the campfire,
Where the night sings low and the heart's desire,
We'll tell our tales, 'neath the moonlight's grace,
Save me a place, my friend, in that sacred space.
(Verse 2)
Remember those nights by the old pine tree,
Laughing and sharing, just you and me,
Now shadows gather, your strength is thin,
But the spirit of our friendship will never dim.
(Chorus)
Save me a place at the campfire,
Where the night sings low and the heart's desire,
We'll tell our tales, 'neath the moonlight's grace,
Save me a place, my friend, in that sacred space.
(Bridge)
And when the stars light up the sky,
I'll whisper your name with a heavy sigh,
Though life may lead us down different trails,
Our bond will hold strong, like the wind in the sails.
(Verse 3)
So keep that fire warm, and the whiskey near,
I'll carry your laughter, I'll shed a tear,
And when my time comes, just look for me,
I'll be riding home to where we'll always be.
(Chorus)
Save me a place at the campfire,
Where the night sings low and the heart's desire,
We'll tell our tales, 'neath the moonlight's grace,
Save me a place, my friend, in that sacred space.
(Outro)
So until then, my dear old friend,
Know this ain't goodbye, it's just until then,
You'll always be with me, in heart and in song,
Save me a place, where we both belong.
