Lyric

Empty Nest
(Writer/Artist/Producer: Ryan Nicholson / Copyright 2018 ASCAP)


It was a Friday night at Joe’s coffeehouse on the edge of town
I met a couple talkin’ bout memory lane, had tears streamin’ down
They said somethin’ about purpose and raisin’ a family
Their baby just moved out, now they’re a little lonely

They said the years go fast and just like that
There’s no tornado tearin’ up the house
Throwin’ Elmo in the toilet, laughin’ out loud
No more crazy things they do and gone are the funny things they say
So if you have a little one, take a lil’ time before they’re gone
To fill a lifetime of memories, instead of being too busy
Cause there’s an emptiness where there’s an empty nest

Today they relived their past with a lil’ skee ball at the Chuck E. Cheese
Enjoyed a picnic at Pinkerton park where their first learned to swing
Drove by the ball fields where their kids used to play
And sent up a prayer to that ol’ wise man who reminded them every game day

The years go fast and just like that
There’s no Picaso paintin’ up the walls
Stickin’ crayons in their nose while you chase em’ down the hall
No more crazy things they do and gone are the funny things they say
So if you have a little one, take a lil’ time before they’re gone
To fill a lifetime of memories, instead of being too busy
Cause there’s an emptiness where there’s an empty nest

They promise that they’ll live with you forever
That’s all they know when they’re only three
Then you blink and they’re eighteen anxious to leave
You’ll watch them pack their bags one night
And out the front door goes your life

The years go fast and just like that
There’s no Tom Sawyer campin’ neath the stars
Buildin’ bonfires that burn down the backyard
No more crazy things they do and gone are the funny things they say
So if you have a little one, take a lil’ time before they’re gone
To fill a lifetime of memories, instead of being too busy
Cause there’s an emptiness where there’s an empty nest

Yeah there’s no emptiness like an empty nest
