Intro: G C G C 

G 
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 
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 
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 
       C (Strum once) 
Never say anything you shoulda said 

                G 
Stay a little longer 
         F 
Maybe I ain't had enough of you yet 
            C 
Gimme just one more minute 
                       F             C 
One more minute and I won't ask you again 
               G 
I know it's a slow ride 
            F 
I know you really gotta go home 
               C 
Stay a little longer 
               F      C 
Just a little longer 
           G 
Before ya go 

(Intro) 

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
