[Intro]
If you stay the way I loved you
It’ll be just like it used to
We’ll find the love I knew we’d never lose
If you stay the way I loved you
[Verse 1]
Did the city change you
Did it make you starry-eyed
Did it make you forget
The stars we used to watch at night
Baby I know deep down you’ve been longing to come home
Are you still the guy I used to know
[Chorus 1]
If you stay the way I loved you
It’ll be just like it used to
We’ll go driving through our hometown
I bet you still know the way around
We’ll go flying down the roads and
Maybе dip our toes in the wet sand
Wе’ll find the love I knew we’d never lose
If you stay the way I loved you
[Verse 2]
The only billboard you liked
Was the one for Motel 4
And staying up all night
Meant sitting back on the porch
All those flashing lights up there
Are probably real nice
But do you love ‘em like that one blinking yellow light
[Chorus 2]
If you stay the way I loved you
It’ll be just like it used to
We’ll go driving through our hometown
I bet you still know the way around
We’ll go flying down the roads and
Maybe dip our toes in the wet sand
We’ll find the love I knew we’d never lose
If you stay the way I loved you
If we go back in time I know we’ll find something
Don’t think it’s just the memories we’re lovin’
[Chorus 3]
If you stay the way I loved you
It’ll be just like it used to
We’ll go driving through our hometown
Cause we still know the way around
We’ll go walking down on Main Street
To that bar where you said you loved me
We’ll find the love I knew we’d never lose
There’s a spot this town and I have saved for you
If you stay the way I loved you
If you stay the way I loved you
