She Wants Me To Stay (Stay Gone)

(Ronnie Dunn, Dean Dillion)

 

She used to cry when I'd stay out all night

She'd throw a hissy 'bout not doing her right

No matter how wrong or long-gone I'd been

She left an open door enough for me to slip back in

 

Now she wants me to stay, stay gone

She could care less about all of my carrying on

She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot

That starts when I get home

She wants me to stay, stay gone

 

I used to always sing the doghouse blues

"Please sweet mama, won't you cut me loose?"

The chains she used to hold me ain't there no more

She got 'em wrapped up around her front door

 

Now she wants me to stay, stay gone

She could care less about all my carrying on

She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot

That starts when I get home

She wants me to stay, stay gone

 

Now she wants me to stay, stay gone

She could care less about all my carrying on

She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot

That starts when I get home

She wants me to stay, stay gone

Yeah, she wants me to stay, stay gone
