Be Here For a While

I spent four years going wild in a college town
I drank a lot of beer and I hung around
I finally graduated so I hit the road
To see what this life had planned for me

I could'a took the highway and kept on rolling through
But I took the long road and it led me straight to you

I found a little map dot to call my home town
I found a little girl and I settled down
She's got pretty green eyes and an angel smile
I think I'm gonna be here for a while

Well there's nothing but blue skies for miles around
And there's not much going on here in our little town
But my band plays the bar here every friday night
My baby's always in the crowd and we're feelin' alright

I could'a took the highway and kept on rolling through
But I took the long road and it led me straight to you

I found a little map dot, to call my home town
I found a little girl and I settled down
She's got pretty green eyes and an angel smile
I think I'm gonna be here for a while

I want to be with her alone under the stars
And I never thought this road would take me down this far
