I had to of been about ten when my granddad took me fishin
Two 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

If I stay then I'd get to see the way it would end up to be
If I go maybe I'll 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 I'm sittin on a bar stool contemplating leaving you
Should I stay or should I go

Maybe one day
I'll 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 didn't care if I ever came home
I need to know
Should I stay or should I go
