Stay by My Side

When I give up the music I'll give up the drinking

Like I gave up the powder in the spring of '05

I won't take to the highway I'll take care of the children

Don't give up on me darling stay by my side

It's the taste of the whiskey the smell of the diesel

The roar of the crowd and the thrill of the night

I won't take it for granted it won't last forever

I'll stay on the stage til they turn out the light

What I wouldn't give for a taste of home cooking

What I wouldn't take just to get through the show

Wherever you find me you can't satisfy me

I get homesick at home and sick on the road

When I step through the door the floor's covered with marbles

The dogs are all loose the cats livin' inside

Forgive me for headin' straight to the bedroom

But a man on the run needs a good place to hide

When I give up the music I'll give up the drinking

Like I gave up the powder in the spring of '05

I won't take to the highway I'll take care of the children

Don't give up on me darling stay by my side

Don't give up on me darling stay by my side
