Staying is one way of holding a life together.

English countrypolitan-ballad brief · pedal steel and strings

Some people can pack a life in half a day; the narrator belongs to those who stay. The road out resembles freedom and the road back ice. Repeated refrains make this undemonstrative persistence a way of holding what others lose. The family story belongs to the song, not an assumed biography of its creator.

The public Nashville countrypolitan brief opens with pedal steel and proposes Telecaster, piano, warm strings and drums over a steady 72 BPM backbeat. Thickening choruses are the arrangement concept, giving a simple answer a longer echo.

Read the lyrics
[Chorus] I'm the kind that stays When the easy ones are gone I'm the kind that stays Long after the porch light's on [Verse] You can pack a life in half a day I have watched them do it twice The road out looks like freedom And the road back looks like ice [Chorus] I'm the kind that stays When the easy ones are gone I'm the kind that stays Long after the porch light's on [Verse] My mother stayed, her mother stayed It's not a thing we choose It's a way of holding onto things That other people lose [Chorus] I'm the kind that stays When the easy ones are gone I'm the kind that stays Long after the porch light's on [Bridge] Call it small and call it slow It's the only thing I know [Chorus] I'm the kind that stays When the easy ones are gone I'm the kind that stays Long after the porch light's on [Chorus] I'm the kind that stays When the easy ones are gone I'm the kind that stays Long after the porch light's on
