Sister Hazel - I Stayed for the Girl lyrics

A dusty road circled through
The junkyard scraps
Cold train frozen to a 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 shouldering a thousand pound chip
Anywhere's better than the hole you're in
Couldn't let her be the girl
In the songs I've 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

Well, I stayed from the very first night
And I'll stay for the rest of my life oh

Hard heads drag around the heaviest hearts
Never know what they've got til
They've gone too far
If there ever was a smile that
I knew I couldn't leave
It's 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

Hey, hey
