If You Ever Went Away

I'd have a few more beers after work

A few more than I ought to

A few more than I used to

Hitch a ride with my old buddy John

Talk about the game that's on

Yeah he's pretty good company but he ain't you

I'd lay my head down

Try not to think

But I wouldn't sleep a wink

Yeah that's what I'd do

But if you stay I'm gonna love you

I'm gonna keep that promise that I made

'Cause deep inside I know that I'd be lost

If you ever went away

I'd probably spend a few more days out on the lake fishin'

Maybe even catch that big one

Aw that'd be somethin'

Sit up on a big ol' stump

And watch the day fall down probably just walk around

Head on back to the house

Go through a door into a place I don't wanna be

Spend all night hangin' out with old memories

But if you stay I'm gonna love you

I'm gonna keep that promise that I made

'Cause deep inside I know that I'd be lost

If you ever went away

If you stay I'm gonna love you

I'm gonna keep that promise that I made

'Cause deep inside I know that I'd be lost

If you ever went away

I'd spend some time hangin' out with my old buddy John

Yeah he's pretty good company but he ain't you
