(ronnie dunn/dean dillon)



She used to cry when I'd stay out all night

She'd throw a hissy 'bout not doing her right

No matter how wrong or long-gone I'd been

She left an open door for me to slip back in



Now she wants me to staystay gone

She could care less about all of my carrying on

She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot

That starts when I get home

She wants me to staystay gone



I used to always sing the doghouse blues

"please sweet mamawon't you cut me loose? "

The chains she used to use to hold me ain't there no more

She got 'em wrapped up around her front door



Now she wants me to staystay gone

She could care less about all of my carrying on

She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot

That starts when I get home

She wants me to staystay gone



Now she wants me to staystay gone

She could care less about all of my carrying on

She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot

That starts when I get home

She wants me to staystay gone

Yeahshe wants me to staystay gone
