It's a one life town with a lot of gravel roads and very few road signs
It's a county square thats round where everybody knows what's going on
All the time day and night
It's a little of the beaten path a kind of place you don't find everyday
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 around thirteen
Drive a stick shift truck
And I have 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 about eight o'clock
And if it don't rain might be a handful
Chewing a handful in the sonic parking lot that's all we 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 you 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 want to leave this place
Cause I can't wait to stay
It's where my dad and grandad and his dad all grew up
It's where I learned to fish around thirteen
Drive a stick shift truck
And I have friends who couldn't wait to turn eighteen pack up and move away
Not me no not me
I can't wait to stay
Yeah I can't wait to stay
