Here To Stay © L. Dunn ‘93
Verse
Been around this town long before we met
I haven’t been knocked down and counted out yet
Of all the things I’ve been through
Take a whole lot more to stop me than somebody like you
Get it through your head I’m not goin’ away
You’d better realize that I am here to stay
Verse
I’m like an engine that just won’t stop
I keep on tickin’ like I swallowed a clock
I’m a cat got all nine lives
I’m here to stay I’ve made up my mind
Get it through your head I’m not goin’ away
You’d better realize that I am here to stay
Solo
Verse
On your way up you burned a friend or two
Paid no attention to the golden rule
Times will change but what you’ve done is done
And as sure as I’m here your time’s gonna come
Get it through your head I’m not goin’ away
You’d better realize that I am here to stay
Solo
Verse
Any way the wind blows you’ll be found
When bad weather hits you blow outta town
Well thunder and rain never slowed me down
And when the sun comes out I’ll still be around
Get it through your head I’m not goin’ away
You’d better realize that I am here to stay
You’d better realize that I am here to stay
You’d better realize that I am here to stay
