Lyrics for Why Don't You Stay Home

It's high time to make a move Things might not get better There, i said it The last time you were feeling like this You left with a light coat and near froze to death Why don't you stay home where you're loved Where you'll never be Hungry or lost no stranger? Not much i can think of We cut down the oak last year I know you can't stay very long But why do you run and run The children you won't recognize They're growing so fast I can't keep up, keep up Why don't you stay home where you're loved No danger here left to feel Why don't you stay home where you're loved Where you'll never be Hungry or lost no stranger?
