Stayin’ Song

[Verse 1]
I stopped 'cause there was nothing else to do
And I thought I'd stick around for just a while
But I warned you like the west wind
I was only blowin' through
And no one could ever make me change my style

[Chorus]
'Cause I never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes
A thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange
That I ain't headin' for the door, but I
Never sung no stayin' song, I
Never thought I'd stay this long, I
Never sung no stayin' song before

[Break]
No!
Come on now

[Verse 2]
I usually leave when all the words are said
But with you there's always more sweet things to say
And when my mind starts a wanderin'
Up that windin' road ahead
My feet don't seem to wanna walk away

[Chorus]
And I never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes
A thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange
That I ain't headin' for the door, but I
Never sung no stayin' song, I
Never thought I'd stay this long, I
Never sung no stayin' song before

[Verse 3]
Last night I heard an old freight whistle blow (uh oh)
As I was sleeping warmly in your bed
And it told me "Boy it's time
That you was packin' up to go"
But I smiled and shook the leavin' from my head

[Chorus]
And I never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes
A thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange
That I ain't headin' for the door, but I
Never sung no stayin' song, I
Never thought I'd stay this long, I
Never sung no stayin' song before

[Outro]
I never sung no stayin' song, I
Never thought I'd stay so long, I
I never (never) sung no stayin' song before
(Woo!) I don't think so
And I never sung no stayin' song, I
Never thought I'd stay so long, I
Never sung no stayin' song before
Oh, no, we've never sung the stayin' song
