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 getaway 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 damn closin' time

'Til that blue-white girl with a jet black truck

Worn out boots, new to me dust showed up

And now baby look it us

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 getaway plan got a little upgrade

Girl, you gave me a reason to stay, oh yeah

I had every reason to leave

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 getaway 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
