lyrics

If You'd Stayed

The smoke from my cigarette drifts away on a cool night breeze
By morning you'll be in Dallas, back home from Tennessee
And thought it through … and even though I wanted you
To stay here with me, you left anyway

But what could've happened if you'd stayed
There'll be regrets now either way
And baby, you're driving home, oh and I … I'm here alone
And this still won't feel right in the harsh light of day
What could've happened if you'd stayed

I went inside and turned on a light, 'cause I can't sleep
It's too late for us, but it's not too late to drink
And all of my thoughts just keep spinning around
Was I so wrong about us, would have left either way

But what could've happened if you'd stayed
There'll be regrets now either way
And baby, you're driving home, oh and I … I'm here alone
And this still won't feel right in the harsh light of day
What could've happened if you'd stayed

I thought we'd wake up together, but maybe this is better
Just keeping our hearts safer this way

But what could've happened if you'd stayed
There'll be regrets now either way
And baby, you're driving home, oh and I … I'm here alone
And this still won't feel right in the harsh light of day
What could've happened if you'd …
What would've happened if you'd …
What could've happened if you'd stayed

Reuben Brock Nashville, Tennessee

I always knew I was destined to be a traveler and a collector of stories. My songs are the music I hear in my head that seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.

The first single release from the upcoming Reuben Brock DAMAGE studio album is NAIL AND HAMMER. ... more
