I had to of been about ten when my granddad took me fishin
2 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
