Текст песни Stayin' Song - Dr. Hook

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 goodbye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange and 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 (oh, good on ya)

I usually leave when all the words are said (come on)
But with you there's always more sweet things to say
But when my mind starts a wanderin' up that windin' road ahead
My feet don't seem to wanna walk away

And I never sung no stayin' song before
I've done them blues and goodbye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange and 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 goodbye tunes a thousand times or more
And it seems a little strange and 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 so long
I never, never sung no stayin' song before (ooh, I don't think so)
And I never, never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay so long
I never sung no stayin' song before
Oh, no, I never sung a stayin' song
