I Can't Wait To Stay

(album: A Whole Lot More To Me - 2016)

It's a one light town with a lot of gravel road mad very few road signs
It's a county square that's round where everybody knows what's going on all the time, day and night
It's a little off the beaten path; the kind of place you don't find every day
And I can't wait to stay

It's where my dad, and my grandad, and his dad all grew up
It's where I learned to fish, and at thirteen drive a stick shift truck
Yea, I've had friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen, pack up, and move away
Not me, no, not me
I can't wait to stay

It don't have no neon lights, and all the stores close down by eight o'clock
And if it don't rain, might be a hand full chewing the fat in the Sonic parking lot, that's all we've got
Come Sunday morning suits and ties and dresses fill the church where I was saved
And I can't wait to stay

Not a day goes by that you don't hear a 'Hey there. How ya been?'
You don't have to call to say you're coming, just stop in
For the life of me, I can't see why anyone would wanna leave this place
Cause I can't wait to stay

It's where my dad, and my grandad, and his dad all grew up
It's where I learned to fish, and at thirteen drive a stick shift truck
Yea, I've had friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen, pack up, and move away
Not me, no, not me
I can't wait to stay

Yea, I can't wait to stay
