There's a sweet desert moon that hangs high over El Paso
We can watch the stars fall from the sky in Balmorhea
Even though the rain rarely falls I know a place on the Gulf of Mexico
With an ocean breeze we'll find a cool spot under the shade
You're all I long for
Won't you stay?
I love your southern goodbyes
The way that you walk away
I love that shine in your eyes
From the moment you wake
I love your southern hellos
I love that smile on your face
I hate the way that you go
So baby please won't you stay
Sweeter than a tall glass of tea you learn to make from your mama
The way the words slide off your tongue you mind your P's and Q's
Brown Texas tan the way you swam around in the water
Cause when summer comes around you're the first one to kick off your shoes
I love your southern goodbyes
The way that you walk away
I love that shine in your eyes
So baby please won't you stay
All I want for
Is only you
I love your southern goodbyes
The way that you walk away
I love that shine in your eyes
From the moment you wake
I love your southern hellos
I love that smile on your face
I hate the way that you go
So baby please won't you stay
I hate the way that you go
So baby please won't you stay
Please stay
I love your southern goodbyes
