baby
hold on
I didn’t tell you
you could go
I need you
here with me
just a little bit longer
to look in those eyes
and know
just what you’re thinkin’
to tell you
one more time
how much
you mean to me
baby
hold on
I didn’t tell you
you could go
I need you
here with me
just a little bit longer
to hear your stories
while we share a beer
sitting out on the deck
looking at the lake
to listen to the blues
while we’re
anything but blue
baby
hold on
I didn’t tell you
you could go
I need you
here with me
just a little bit longer
to ride the canyons
our only decision
left or right
to remind you with no words needed
that you have and will
forever more be
the ride of my life
to hear your stories
while we share a beer
sitting out on the deck
looking at the lake
to listen to the blues
while we’re
anything but blue
