Gone to Stay

I should have guessed on the day that we met
Your love would never do me no good
But those beautiful words, they were all that I heard
Hypnotized me right there where I stood

Five years I lost to love as cold as the frost
And another five years after those
But I kept coming back ‘cause restraint I do lack
Now it’s the last time I’m gonna hit the road

Oh I’ve been everywhere in this whole wide world
But I never get far enough away
I keep stumbling home wondering if you’re alone
But this time I will be gone to stay

Made me believe I was one of a kind,
Whispered your love everyday
Who could guess at the time you were playing my mind
Sunny skies would all soon turn to grey

Oh I’ve been everywhere in this whole wide world
But I never get far enough away
I keep stumbling home wondering if you’re alone
But this time I will be gone to stay

Each time I left, thought it was for the best
My heart couldn’t take anymore
But I find my way back to that old worn out shack
Just to see what your love has in store

Oh I’ve been everywhere in this whole wide world
But I never get far enough away
I keep stumbling home wondering if you’re alone
But this time I will be gone to stay
