 BEFORE I STAY

Yeah, I'd love another dance
That's why I have to turn you down
A guilty pleasure meeting you
I'd stary here with you, but I can't

     I ain't gettin' no stronger
     I can't hang around much longer
     It ain't easy to say no . . .
     But someone's there for me at home
     I gotta go
     I gotta go
     I gotta go before I stay

When you whisper in my ear
My heart beats faster than it should
You're still holding me too close
So what am I still doing here?

     I ain't gettin' no stronger
     I can't hang around much longer
     It ain't easy to say no . . .
     But someone's there for me at home
     I gotta go
     I gotta go
     I gotta go before I stay

          I made a promise worth keeping
          It's time to get on with the leavin'

     I ain't gettin' no stronger
     I can't hang around much longer
     It ain't easy to say no . . .
     But someone's there for me at home
     I gotta go
     I gotta go
     I gotta go before I stay

Seth and I wrote this song at my place in Nashville.  Based on a true experience
of someone we know . . . twisted and turned and fictionalized.  Temptation, temptation,
temptation . . . we've all faced it in some way or another.
