You Don't Have to Stay Forever Lyrics

Everybody held their breath
when you walked in
Guess no one thought to tell me
you were back in town again
Everyone remembers how you shut me down
And let me tell you jaws were dropping
left and right when we walked out
Its so good to see you now
Its as though you were never gone
Even after all this time
And I want you more than ever
And I know you can never be mine
You dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
Maybe you could stay tonight

Arm in arm out strolling down
on Riverside
Two broken hearts beating fast
and right in time
I got nothing to loose I might
as well lay it on the line
And I dont want to be alone
so wont you stay with me tonight

Its so good to see you now
Its as though you were never gone
Even after all this time
And I want you more than ever
And I know you can never be mine
But you dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
Maybe you could stay tonight

No one feels the same against my skin
Feels so right just to be with you again
Im still not over the first time y
ou let me go
But I dont hold that against you
And I wanted you to know

Its so good to see you now
Its as though you were never gone
Even after all this time
And I want you more than ever
And I know you can never be mine
You dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
You dont have to stay forever
Maybe you could stay tonight

Reckless Kelly is an Austin, Texas based Americana/Texas Country band. The band was formed in Bend, Oregon, but moved to Austin in January 1997. Their name was inspired by Australian bank robber Ned Kelly.

Reckless Kelly's debut album, Millican, appeared in the fall of 1997, and was officially released in 1998; Acoustic: Live at Stubb's and The Day both followed two years later, after which David Abeyta replaced Pollock on lead guitar. Under the Table and Above the Sun from 2003 began the band's relationship with the high-profile Sugar Hill label and won the hearts of the music press and honky tonkin' legend Joe Ely, who sang the band's praises in interviews. Wicked Twisted Road was released in 2005, and the next year the live album Reckless Kelly Was Here captured the band's stage presence. Bulletproof was released in the summer of 2008 on a new label, Yep Roc Records, and includes tracks critical of and reflecting on recent sociopolitical unfoldings, such as the Iraq War and Hurricane Katrina. In 2010, Reckless released an album of songs by one of their musical heroes, Pinto Bennett. Somewhere in Time, in the band's own words, highlighted their love of "straight-up honky tonk". The band regularly returns to Austin to play before capacity crowds at venues like Nutty Brown Cafe & Amphitheatre. 2011 saw the release of the album Good Luck & True Love, which featured singles "I Never Liked St. Valentine" and "Good Luck and True Love", while 2013 saw the release of their long-awaited "Long Night Moon".
