I Stayed for the Girl - Sister Hazel

A dusty road circles through the junkyard scraps

Cold train frozen to rusty old track

Had me a dream to give that highway a whirl

Some dreams change fast, I stayed for the girl

You can fly, you can ride, you can roll, you can run

But everything’s nothing unless you got someone

If I would’ve left here then I would’ve lost her

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

A young gun shoulder and a thousand pound chip

Anywhere’s better than the hole you’re in

Couldn’t let her be the girl in the songs I heard

Yeah the ones that got away, I stayed for the girl

You can fly, you can ride, you can roll, you can run

But everything’s nothing unless you got someone

If I would’ve left here then I would’ve lost her

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed

I stayed from the very first night

And I’ll stay for the rest of my life

Hey!

Hard heads drag around the heaviest hearts

Never know what they’ve got till they’ve gone too far

If there ever was a smile that I knew I couldn’t leave

Is the one right here smiling back at me

You can fly, you can ride, you can roll, you can run

But everything’s nothing unless you got someone

If I would’ve left here then I would’ve lost her

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

I stayed, I stayed, I stayed for the girl

Eh, eh!
