Every road I stand upon, every new place that I find,
loving someone, remembering them all, always something takes my time.
What would have happened if I'd stayed around? Would I have been with you?
What would have happened if I'd stayed around? Would I have been with you?
The sun sets on singers in the night, and the stars in the sky,
and the sands out of sight, walking their weary ways back home.
My head is not heavy, but my eyes and arms are full, one thought's lingering to roam.
What would have happened if I'd stayed around?
What would have happened if I'd stayed around?
What would have happened if I'd stayed around? Would I have been with you?
Would I have been with you?
What would have happened if I'd stayed around? Would I have been with you?
Girls in their forties and girls in their teens, girls with their husbands far from home.
Some with their hair down and some with their eyes closed
All with their ribbons well undone
What would have happened if I'd stayed around
Would I have been with you
What would have happened if I'd stayed around
Would I have been with you
Manned by a roadside and in a factory
Drivers on wagons going north
Friends in a public bar
With a dark board as their guard
Never turn to ask me what I'm worth
What would have happened if I'd stayed around
Would I have been with you
What would have happened if I'd stayed around
Would I have been with you
Would I have been with you
Buying a present for a new born child
Drowning in whiskey and in gin
Watching a girl child cry to my face
With her mother asking where I've been
Wouldn't I have been with you
Listen to my voice scrubbing loudarez's vigor



What would have happened if I'd stayed around?
Would I have been with you?
What would have happened if I'd stayed around?
Would I have been with you?
What would have happened if I'd stayed around?
