But I got to stay, but I got to stay |

All aboard I heard them call your name |
| [00:27.076] |
I knew you got your ticket now you're on your way |
| [00:29.580] |
And it was hard to watch you wave goodbye |
| [00:32.229] |
I write you here and there with no need to reply |
| [00:34.803] |
It's just I lost a good friend in a time of need |
| [00:37.284] |
Like forever would be better but this time your free |
| [00:39.860] |
Hate you left us kind of selfish just to think that way |
| [00:42.628] |
You going home don't worry what you probably would say |
| [00:45.268] |
But yeah it hurts I smile at the thought of |
| [00:48.180] |
You At peace in your mind, no longer ache in your heart |
| [00:50.868] |
Finish and start, rise with the sun |
| [00:53.948] |
Finally hear your father say servant well done |
| [00:56.372] |
I strive to be half of what you was |
| [00:59.398] |
I'm just hoping that I can carry on your love |
| [01:01.956] |
And I regret all the times I had to leave you |

| [01:16.572] |
But I got to stay, but I got to stay |
| [01:23.772][Verse 2:] |
|
| [01:28.451] |
Your motherly hands used to usher Sunday mornings |
| [01:31.868] |
Played the tambourine so well |
| [01:34.558] |
Reminiscing on my granddaddy, shed tears as you looked at his pictures on the shelf |
| [01:39.308] |
Phone ringing everyday, friends gone away |
| [01:42.004] |
Wishing you could go, but you had to stay |
| [01:44.644] |
I sit and cried with you |
| [01:46.643] |
Soon the fellings of the past aware, one day that you pack your bags |
| [01:50.044] |
Turn to me and ask don't fret when I leave |
| [01:52.924] |
This earthly body of mine done did all of its deeds |
| [01:55.510] |
Crawled till it walked and held all it could breathe |
| [01:58.980] |
Carry on what I taught you was given thru he |
| [02:01.109] |
To you from me, in times like this believe |
| [02:06.763] |
I got a call like you used to get just the other day, they told me you'd gone home to stay |
| [02:11.084][Hook:] |
|
| [02:11.516] |
I told her you should go home |
| [02:15.076] |
It's better that way |

I wish I could come with you |
| [02:21.339] |
But I got to stay, but I got to stay |
| [02:29.916][Bridge:] |
|
| [02:31.196] |
Now I know what you meant when you used to say |
| [02:33.668] |
If I had wings, wings, wings |
| [02:38.227] |
I'd fly away, I'd fly away |
| [02:43.268] |
Lord, if I had wings, wings, wings |
