Chalk Marks on the Green
Style: Bluegrass romp

[Verse 1]
You marked the door with chalk each year
Every mark a mile you'd grown
Rusted spades still lean and wait
But that whole shed feels like your own

[Pre-chorus]
We counted every line you made
Watched you climb past every plank
Now the room is holding breath

[Chorus]
Frank, oh Frank, we're raising glasses
Nobody fills a room like Frank
Every year you're worth the toasting
Frank, we're grateful, Frank, we thank

[Verse 2]
You'd stand there grinning, chalk in hand
Marking up another year
Rust and green and your bright laugh
That's the sound we hold most dear

[Pre-chorus]
We counted every line you made
Watched you climb past every plank
Now the room is holding breath

[Chorus]
Frank, oh Frank, we're raising glasses
Nobody fills a room like Frank
Every year you're worth the toasting
Frank, we're grateful, Frank, we thank

[Bridge]
However far you wander off
We'll keep a mark here on the plank
You're the reason we all gather
Never once will we grow blank

[Chorus]
Frank, oh Frank, we're raising glasses
Nobody fills a room like Frank
Every year you're worth the toasting
Frank, we're grateful, Frank, we thank

[Outro]
One more mark upon the door
Frank, we're glad you're in this bank
