Christen Sawyer and guitarist Austin Desguin performing Sugarland's song "Stay" live acoustic at Double C Steakhouse in Winnsboro Texas!

I love this song, and I especially loved Jennifer Nettles' live performance of it on the CMA's a few years back. Hope you like our rendition of it!

LYRICS:
i've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
and i've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
it's just another call from home
and you'll get it and be gone and i'll be crying

and i'll be begging you baby--beg you not to leave
but i'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
oh, for the next time we'll be here
seems like a million years and i think i'm dying

what do i have to do to make you see?
she can't love you like me.

why don't you stay?
i'm down on my knees
i'm so tired of being lonely
don't i give you what you need?
when she calls you to go
there is one thing you should know
we don't have to live this way
baby why don't you stay?

you keep telling me, baby, there will come a time
when you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
oh but i don't think that's the truth
and i don't like being used and i'm tired of waiting

it's too much pain to have to bear
to love a man you have to share

why don't you stay?
i'm down on my knees
i'm so tired of being lonely
don't i give you what you need?
when she calls you to go
there is one thing you should know
we don't have to live this way
so baby why don't you stay?

i can't take it any longer, but my will is getting stronger
and i think i know just what i have to do
i can't waste another minute after all that i put in it
i've given you my best, why does she get the best of you?
so the next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine...

why don't you stay?
i'm up off my knees
i'm so tired of being lonely
and you can't give me what i need
when she begs you not to go
there is one thing you should know
i don't have to live this way, yeah
so baby why don't you stay?
why don't you stay?
