Don’t stay to long

(Intro)

Mmm, yeah…

Lord, I got love for ‘em, but they stay too long…

Just wanna sit back, enjoy my home…

⸻

(Verse 1)

Doors always open, heart big as the sky

If you need a lil’ somethin’, I ain’t askin’ why

I done gave my time, gave my last, gave my all

But Lord, they get too comfy, got their shoes in my hall

I love my people, I swear I do

But when the sun go down, I need my room

Ain’t no hard feelings, ain’t no shade

Just tryna grow old with a porch and some space

⸻

(Hook)

Come on in, stay a while, but don’t miss the signs

We love good company, just not all the time

We ain’t kickin’ you out, we just need a lil’ peace

Let us rock in our chairs, Lord, let us breathe

⸻

(Verse 2)

I done fed y’all plates, I done prayed for your sins

Took the couch, let you sleep in the bed I’m in

But a man need rest, and a house need calm

Can’t keep hostin’ if my strength all gone

I love my neighbor, I love my kin

But love work best when it’s balanced within

Come and get a blessing, take what you need

Then let me sit quiet with my soul at ease

⸻

(Bridge)

God said love, God said share

God ain’t say they gotta live right there

We gon’ laugh, we gon’ eat, we gon’ sing all day

But when the sun go down, take your love on its way

⸻

(Outro)

Mmm, yeah…

Lord, I got love for ‘em, but they stay too long…

Just wanna sit back, enjoy my home…
