I´d have a few more beers after work
A few more than I ought to, a few more than I used to
Hitch a ride with my old buddy John talk about the game that´s on
Yeah he´s pretty good company but he ain´t you
I´d lay my head down try not to think
But I wouldn´t sleep a wink yeah that´s what I´d do

Chorus
But If you stay I´m gonna love you
I´m gonna keep that promise that I made
´Cause deep inside I know that I´d be lost
If you ever went away

I´d probably spend a few more days out on the lake fishin´
Maybe even catch that big one aw that´d be somethin´
Sit up a big ol´ stump and watch the day fall down
Probably just walk around head on back to the house
Go through a door into a place I don´t wanna be
Spend all night hangin´ out with old memories

But If you stay I´m gonna love you
I´m gonna keep that promise that I made
´Cause deep inside I know that I´d be lost
If you ever went away

If you stay I´m gonna love you
I´m gonna keep that promise that I made
´Cause deep inside I know that I´d be lost
If you ever went away

I´d spend some time hangin´ out with my old buddy John
Yeah he´s pretty good company but he ain´t you
