She used to cry when I'd stay out all night She'd throw a hissy 'bout not doing her right No matter how wrong or long-gone I'd been She left an open door for me to slip back in
Now she wants me to stay, stay gone She could care less about all of my carrying on She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot That starts when I get home She wants me to stay, stay gone
I used to always sing the doghouse blues Please sweet mama, won't you cut me loose? The chains she used to use to hold me ain't there no more She got 'em wrapped up around her front door
Now she wants me to stay, stay gone She could care less about all of my carrying on She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot That starts when I get home She wants me to stay, stay gone
Now she wants me to stay, stay gone She could care less about all of my carrying on She likes the peace and quiet instead of the riot That starts when I get home She wants me to stay, stay gone Yeah, she wants me to stay, stay gone
