Lyrics I Stayed for the Girl - Sister Hazel

I Stayed for the Girl

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!
