V1:
I had to of been about ten when my granddad took me fishin
2 hours on the lake we had nothing to show
It was then that he turned around, sat his fishing pole down and said
Should I stay or should I go
I was 17 at a high school party, this little voice kept saying just say no
But there were girls there and they had to many, they asked me if I wanted any
Should I stay or should I go
Chorus:
If I stay then Iâd get to see the way it would end up to be
If I go maybe Iâll know. Time just might show
Should I stay or should I go. Should I stay or should I go
I remember getting married, having babies and working like crazy
Different directions we would go
But right now Iâm sittin on a bar stool contemplating leaving you
Should I stay or should I go
Bridge:
Maybe one day Iâll get to see all my mistakes turn into good memories
Should I stay or should I go
I just talked to you on the phone and you said you didnât care if I ever came home
I need to know
Should I stay or should I go
