It's a one light town with a lot of gravel road mad very few road signs

It's a county square that's round where everybody knows what's going on all the time, day and night

It's a little off the beaten path; the kind of place you don't find every day

And I can't wait to stay



It's where my dad, and my grandad, and his dad all grew up

It's where I learned to fish, and at thirteen drive a stick shift truck

Yea, I've had friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen, pack up, and move away 

Not me, no, not me

I can't wait to stay



It don't have no neon lights, and all the stores close down by eight o'clock

And if it don't rain, might be a hand full chewing the fat in the Sonic parking lot, that's all we've got

Come Sunday morning suits and ties and dresses fill the church where I was saved

And I can't wait to stay



Not a day goes by that you don't hear a 'Hey there. How ya been?'

You don't have to call to say you're coming, just stop in

For the life of me, I can't see why anyone would wanna leave this place

Cause I can't wait to stay



It's where my dad, and my grandad, and his dad all grew up

It's where I learned to fish, and at thirteen drive a stick shift truck

Yea, I've had friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen, pack up, and move away 

Not me, no, not me

I can't wait to stay



Yea, I can't wait to stay
