John Michael Montgomery - If You Ever Went Away Lyrics

If You Ever Went Away
(Daryl Burgess/Randy Houser)

I'd have a few more beers after work
A few more than I ought to, a few more than I used to
Hitch a ride with my old buddy John talk about the game that's on
Yeah he's pretty good company but he ain't you
I'd lay my head down try not to think
But I wouldn't sleep a wink yeah that's what I'd do

Chorus
But If you stay I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna keep that promise that I made
'Cause deep inside I know that I'd be lost
If you ever went away

I'd probably spend a few more days out on the lake fishin'
Maybe even catch that big one aw that'd be somethin'
Sit up a big ol' stump and watch the day fall down
Probably just walk around head on back to the house
Go through a door into a place I don't wanna be
Spend all night hangin' out with old memories

But If you stay I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna keep that promise that I made
'Cause deep inside I know that I'd be lost
If you ever went away

If you stay I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna keep that promise that I made
'Cause deep inside I know that I'd be lost
If you ever went away

I'd spend some time hangin' out with my old buddy John
Yeah he's pretty good company but he ain't you
