Crossin border into my homeland I been
Up north seein my old man
I didn t get much fuss, Comin through this time
Look forward to havin a puff, Just over that state line and I
G(Barre)
Rolled into Eustis just a little bit late gotta
Hefty grin I had tucked away
Just a few miles back under a sweepin pine
Got the stereo on and the sun in my eyes and
G(Barre)
Stretch ahead got some lonely miles
Loggin trucks every once in a while
I knew a girl here once, didn t catch her name
Just gave her a ride up to Sugarloaf Lane and it s

Stay a little longer
Maybe I ain t had enough of you yet
Gimme just one more minute
One more minute and I won t ask you again
I know it s a slow ride
I know you really gotta go home
Stay a little longer
Just a little longer
G(Barre)
Before ya go
(Play Intro again)
I cruise on by that 45 sign man
I don t care let that hemi unwind
It s an open road, Ain t no cops in sight
Keepin watch for deer, creepin on the roadside and
I got lost just a few years past
This part of town ain t on the map
It s a backwoods way, Little short on time
God how things change, Now I can drive it blind and
Got some coffee in an Norridgewock store
Not much further till I hit Bangor
I knew a girl there once, She was wild n free
Gotta drunkards dream if I ever you see and it s
One of those things you can t take back
Never say anything you shoulda said
Stay a little longer
Baby have just another glass
Gimme just one more second
Just one more second and I ll try to make it last
Maybe just a sip of whiskey
And it s me you ll wanna hold
Stay a little longer
Just a little longer
Before ya go
(Intro)
Construction s heavy on the old frontier
Same spot they fixed last year
It s an uphill race, It s a one leg climb
Keepin one step up on the sands of time and
Up ahead fore ya hit the main drag there s a
Log house with a US flag
I knew a girl there once, God I fell so hard
It hurts every time but the first time scars and it s
One of those things you can t take back
Never say anything you shoulda said
Stay a little longer
I think I ll die if you go away
Gimme just one more moment
Just one more moment and I ll stay out of your way
Maybe we were foolish
Maybe we never even had a hope
Stay a little longer
Just a little longer
Before ya go
(Intro)
Kill the engine at the old white farm
With the big sunflower on the barn
I knew a girl there once, She was old and wise
Had a travelers soul and a grandma s smile and it s
One of those things you can t take back
Never say anything you shoulda said
Stay a little longer
Maybe I ain t had enough of you yet
Gimme just one more minute
Just one more minute and I won t ask you again
I know it s a slow ride
I know you really gotta go home
Stay a little longer
Just a little longer
Before ya go
End on G(Barre)
