small town girl she's just growing up
running away she says shes had enough
sick of being judged and the things they all say
sits on the bench bags all packed
catching the next train that comes her way

if only you would stay
oh dont get on that train
its not to late to turn around
that little voice inside your heads trying to make a sound
and for once you might just listen to it
if only you knew it wouldnt always be this way
if only you would stay

hard working man doesn't believe it
wife kicked him out again he came home drinking
waiting for that train he's not thinking
picks up his brief case and makes his way

if only you would stay
oh dont get on that train
its not to late to turn around
that little voice inside your heads trying to make a sound
and for once you might just listen to to it
if only you knew it wouldnt always be this way
if only you would stay

young boy just turned twenty one
his minds made up he says he done
got nothing with him but a goodbye note
folded up in the pocket of his coat
with the reasons hes leaving he's got them all named
just for being different their the ones he's blamed
stepping on those tracks believes theres no turning back
he's waiting for that train to end the rest of his days

if only you would stay
oh dont get on that train
its not to late to turn around
that little voice inside your heads trying to make a sound
and for once you might just listen to to it
if only you knew it wouldnt always be this way
if only you would stay

small town girl she's just growing up
don't you know life can be tough
but things will always get better
momma's worried sick and she needs you
ignore what they say and be that little girl you once knew

hard working man doesnt believe it
has kids at home his wifes waiting up
never thought he'd actually leave for good
so go back and be the man you could

young boy just turned twenty one
there's nothing to be ashamed of
be proud of who you are and accept yourself too
go back and live the life you derserve too

and don't get on that train
cause you might just not come back
and you'll never get a second chance
