Too Stubborn To Leave

[Verse 1]
You say I’m like a fence post, Rooted deep in red clay,
Weathered by the wind and rain, But I ain’t ever blown away.
You call it pride or foolish, A heart that just won’t bend-
But darling, every time you’re leaving, I’m right here again.

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I ain’t easy, I know I ain’t smooth,
But I’ll dig in my heels, When it comes down to you.

[Chorus]
I’m too stubborn to leave, too hard-headed to go-
Like a river that carves through the rock and the stone.
You can slam every door, you can beg me to run,
But I’ll be right here, when the morning comes.
Call it foolish, call it brave, but my worst quality
Is the reason I stay – I’m too stubborn to leave.

[Verse 2]
I’ve watched the sun set angry, heard thunder in your voice,
But I’d rather face the lightning, than give up on this choice.
Love’s a wild stallion, but I ain’t letting go-
I’ll hold the reins tighter when the wild winds blow.

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, I’m rough around the edges, but I’m steady and true,
Ain’t a mountain too high, if I’m climbing with you.

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
Maybe someday you’ll see, that my roots run deep-
I’m the last leaf on the tree, still holding in the autumn breeze.
You can call me crazy, but I call it belief –
In you and me.

[Chorus 3]

[Outro]
Yeah, I’m too stubborn to leave
Too stubborn to leave
If loving you’s a fault, It’s the best one in me.
