Tom Flannery - I'm Gonna Stay lyrics

The gra** grows through the cracks Screen door hanging from a string And memories tracked on the front porch Still cover everything He never said goodbye Things were easier that way City lights might take some But others chose to stay With his hands he makes his way Cutting pieces from the ground Where dreams grow like the summer crop And never make a sound And family means more than X-mas trees And walks down memory lane Interrupted without fail To catch the early train Chorus: He said 'I'm gonna stay And that's all I got to say I like my chances on judgement day (2) Someone asked him one time 'what's the point my friend….. This land owes you nothing And you're near the end' He said a reflection in the water Lasts until you're gone It never takes hold If you keep moving on Pictures on the wall Dog sleeping on the floor And the cool breeze sings him to sleep Through the unlocked door I guess the world is closing in But I think we got some time The old man got drunk last night And tore down the town's road sign It's one and only road sign
