This song is about divorce....so many things that are affected.
lyrics
Reasons To Stay
17 years
1 American dream
2 handsome boys
1 Little League team
2 golden rings
1 promise you made
Do you really need more reasons to stay?
1 dog you named Pal
6 pickets to mend
1 trip to Cancun
That we planned with our friends
4 seats to the game
On the 50 yard line.
1 boat at the lake
With my name on the side
2 glasses of wine by
1 fireplace
Always would put
A smile on your face
A dozen scrapbooks
Of memories so dear
1 masterpiece that took
17 years
17 years
1 American dream
2 handsome boys
1 Little League team
2 golden rings
1 promise you made
Do you really need more reasons to stay?
