"I Wish You'd Stay" Lyrics

(Brad Paisley/Chris DuBois)

I talked to my sister in Memphis
And I told her you were movin' to town
Here's her number
She said she'd be glad to show you around
I left a map on your front seat
Just in case you lose your way
But don't worry, once you reach Sallasaw
It's all interstate.

I know you need to go
But before you do I want you to know, that I

Wish you the best
And I wish you nothing less
Than every thing you've ever dreamed of
And I hope that you find love along the way
But most of all, I wish you'd stay.

I figure right about sundown
You'll be in West Tennessee
And by then
Maybe I'll understand why you had to leave.

I know that you've done some changin'
And I know there's no changin' your mind
And yes, I know
We've been through this a thousand times.

I'm sorry for still holdin' on
I'll try to let go and I'll try to be strong, and I'll

Wish you the best
And I wish you nothing less
Than every thing you've ever dreamed of
And I hope that you find love along the way
But most of all, I wish you'd stay.

Yes, everything you've ever dreamed of
And I hope that you'll find love along the way
But most of all, I wish you'd stay.

I wish you'd stay...
