G(Barre)
Crossin' border into my homeland I been
Up north seein' my old man
          C
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 grant I had tucked away
        C
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
          C
I knew a girl here once, didn't catch her name
Just gave her a ride up to Sugarloaf Lane and it's

F (Strum once)
One of those things you can't take back

Never say anything you shoulda said

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
