One Sweet Reason - Jerry Reed

I have spent my time in goin' never carin' never knowin'

Just what it was I might be goin' to

And I’d planned on leavin' you the same just up and go the way I came

But you may have noticed I’m still here with you

Yes there’s one sweet reason

Why you’re yet to see me leavin'

Just one thing between here and gone

And it’s wrapped up in your smile

And a pair of blue green eyes

And a touch that warms me like the fire’s glow

Any number of a hundred things would send me down that road

But there’s one sweet reason I don’t go

I’ve run from ties I’ve cut my strings

I’ve unlocked doors I’ve broken chains

Fading like a shadow in the dawn

When other loves have turned to clay

I’ve turned my back and walked away

And you should be the next to find me gone

Yes there’s one sweet reason why you’re yet to see me leavin'…

Now I find no need in goin'

From the sweet love I’ve been knowin'

To the restless ways and days that I once knew

For more and more I’ve looked to find

When leavin' creeps across my mind

It’s lost in all the days I’ve spent with you

Yes there’s one sweet reason why you’re yet to see me leavin'…

You’re the one sweet reason I don’t go
