I Stayed For the Girl

A dusty road circled through the junkyard scraps

Cold train frozen to a rusty old track

Had me a dream to give that highway a whirl

Some dreams change fast, I stayed for the girl

You can fly, you can ride, you can roll, you can run

But everything's nothing unless you got someone

If I would've left here then I would've lost her

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

A young gun shouldering a thousand pound chip

Anywhere's better than the hole you're in

Couldn't let her be the girl in the songs I've heard

Yeah, the ones that got away, I stayed for the girl

You can fly, you can ride, you can roll, you can run

But everything's nothing unless you got someone

If I would've left here then I would've lost her

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed

Well, I stayed from the very first night

And I'll stay for the rest of my life

Oh

Hard heads drag around the heaviest hearts

Never know what they've got til they've gone too far

If there ever was a smile that I knew I couldn't leave

It's the one right here, smiling back at me

You can fly, you can ride, you can roll, you can run

But everything's nothing unless you got someone

If I would've left here then I would've lost her

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

Hey, hey
