I stopped 'cause there was nothing else to do And I thought I'd stick around for just a while But I warned you like the west wind, I was only blowin' through And no one could ever make me change my style 'Cause I never sung no stayin' song before I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more And it seems a little strange that I ain't headin' for the door But I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song before I usually leave when all the words are said But with you there's always more sweet things to say And when my mind starts a wanderin'up that windin' road ahead My feet don't seem to want to walk away And I never sung no stayin' song before I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more And it seems a little strange that I ain't headin' for the door
But I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song before Last night I heard an old freight whistle blow As I was sleeping warmly in your bed And it told me, boy it's time that you was packing up to go But I smiled and shook the leaving from my head And I never sung no stayin' song before I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand times or more And it seems a little strange that I ain't headin' for the door But I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song before I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song before {I don't think so} I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay this long...
