"Keep The Girl" Lyrics (Wide Open album)
Written By Neil Thrasher, Wendell Mobley, Jason Aldean
[Verse 1:]
This life is full of choices,
Hard to make one,
All the voices in my head.
Those blue eyes I'm in love with,
Or that highway, whichever I pick.
There'll be regrets,
I go one way I lose everything,
I go the other way, same thing.
[Chorus:]
I'm torn an' it's tearin' me apart.
I want to go but I don't wanna break her heart.
Like a sword with a double-edge blade,
It's gonna cut deep either way.
This little town, (This little town.)
That big ol' world, (That big ol' world.)
Chase the dream, (Gonna keep the girl.)
Or keep the girl?
[Verse 2:]
More than once I packed it all up,
(But I break down.)
But I break down, blame it on the truck.
Just couldn't go. (Just go.)
Just wanna be out there makin' my mark,
Lay down every night in her arms.
[Chorus:]
I'm torn an' it's tearin' me apart.
I want to go but I don't wanna break her heart.
Like a sword with a double-edge blade,
It's gonna cut deep either way.
This little town, (This little town.)
That big ol' world, (That big ol' world.)
Chase the dream, (Gonna keep the girl.)
Or keep the girl?
[Instrumental break.]
[Bridge:]
I don't know why I can't have it all.
Need to tear down that a-wall.
Between this little town that big ol' world,
Go chase my dream an' keep the girl.
[Chorus:]
I'm torn an' it's tearin' me apart.
I want to go but I don't wanna break her heart.
Like a sword with a double-edge blade,
It's gonna cut deep either way.
This little town, (This little town.)
That big ol' world, (That big ol' world.)
Chase my dream, (Gonna keep the girl.)
An' keep the girl?
[Coda:]
I want it all.
Keep the girl.
Hey.
[Instrumental to end.]
