When You Go

I spent twenty-three years in

This house that you're leaving

To go down south, where you'll find wealth

In your new hometown

I can't say that I blame you

Trust me I know it's hard

To raise three kids, and work two jobs

You're never home

Don't worry I'll be fine

When you go

Cause one thing you always taught me

Was how to hold my own

That's why I'm staying home

I'm staying home

When this is all over

I know I'll wish you lived closer

The holidays won't be the same

When you're so far away

I can't say that I blame you

I got feelings but they ain't hard

I'll work this out

I have no doubts, I can do this alone

Don't worry I'll be fine

When you go

Cause one thing you always taught me

Was how to hold my own

That's why I'm staying home

I'm staying home
