Lyrics:

                                                  
I STAY

VERSE 1:
Ain’t nothin’ open past eight pm
Except the factory at second shift
No highway comes close to town
Had a fast-food joint but it shut down

PRE-CHORUS 1:
Most of my friends moved to cities that are nowhere near
Every time they’re with me they ask what I’m doin’ here

CHORUS:
I stay to help my momma ‘cause daddy’s gone now
And I stay to go to my little church on the edge of town
I’ve got nothin’ against the people who move away
But here the best things in life remain the same, that’s why I stay

VERSE 2:
Momma’s always happy when I stop by
Gives me a big hug and peanut butter pie
Got a pretty brunette who says I’m sweet
Likes to make me move my two left feet

PRE-CHORUS 2:
I’ve got buddies who never left here that like a good ballgame
There are endless woods to hunt deer and one heck of a lake

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE:
I don’t need a golf course, a stadium, or the movies
It’s the starry skies, the country drives, and the people here who move me

REPEAT CHORUS
