I Can't Wait to Stay

It's a one life town with a lot of gravel roads and very few road signs

It's a county square thats round where everybody knows what's going on

All the time day and night

It's a little of the beaten path a kind of place you don't find everyday

And I can't wait to stay

It's where my dad and my grandad and his dad all grew up

It's where I learned to fish around thirteen

Drive a stick shift truck

And I have friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen pack up and move away

Not me no not me

I can't wait to stay

It don't have no neon lights

And all the stores close down about eight o'clock

And if it don't rain might be a handful

Chewing a handful in the sonic parking lot that's all we got

Come Sunday morning suits and ties and dresses fill the church where I was saved

And I can't wait to stay

Not a day goes by that you don't hear a "hey there how you been"

You don't have to call to say you're coming

Just stop in

For the life of me I can't see why anyone would want to leave this place

Cause I can't wait to stay

It's where my dad and grandad and his dad all grew up

It's where I learned to fish around thirteen

Drive a stick shift truck

And I have friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen pack up and move away

Not me no not me

I can't wait to stay

Yeah I can't wait to stay
