"Reasons To Stay" lyrics

"Reasons To Stay"

I was born here, raised here, swore I wouldn't die here, in this town
It was too small, all I saw was a red dirt red line holding me down
Three months ago I was three months away from a U-Haul rolling down an interstate
Funny how a made up mind can change

You blew in like a July wind this summer
Stole my heart, took me underneath those wings like you did that day in Galveston
Your sun-kissed skin set mine on fire
Took this small-town boy higher than I ever been
I knew right then my running days were done
My get away plan got a little upgrade
Girl you gave me a reason to stay

I was stuck in a dead-end, a never-ending song the same old lines
Yeah it was the same scene, same drink at the same bar with the same old closin' time
To that girl with a jet black truck, worn out boots, new to me dust
Showed up, and now baby look it up

You blew in like a July wind this summer
Stole my heart, took me underneath those wings like you did that day in Galveston
Your sun-kissed skin set mine on fire
Took this small-town boy higher than I ever been
I knew right then my running days were done
My get away plan got a little upgrade
Girl you gave me a reason to stay

I had every reason to leave
Every reason to fly like a bat out of hell right past them county lines
Til that mornin' you drove by, and you said 'hi'

You blew in like a July wind this summer
Stole my heart, took me underneath those wings like you did that day in Galveston
Your sun-kissed skin set mine on fire
Took this small-town boy higher than I ever been
I knew right then my running days were done
My get away plan got a little upgrade
Girl you gave me a reason
A reason to stay

Oh every reason to stay
Every reason to stay
Oh girl you did
