Staying on the Brightside (Country Gold)

[Verse 1]

Woke up to a window full of gold

My brother called to say he made it home

Mama's got the kettle on the stove

And the dog's asleep across the welcome mat

I count the good I've got instead of what I lack

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a road that pulls me under

There's a voice that calls me back

[Chorus]

I'm staying on the bright side

Where the morning finds me first

I'm staying on the bright side

Where the good days quench the thirst

Let the shadows keep their distance

Let the cold wind pass me by

I'm staying on the bright side

Till the day I say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh, stay with me

Oh-oh, stay with me

[Verse 2]

My father taught me how to swing a hammer true

My sister taught me how to laugh when times are blue

We built a porch and watched the summer bloom

Every plank a promise

Every nail a little room

[Pre-Chorus]

There's a road that pulls me under

There's a voice that calls me back

[Chorus]

I'm staying on the bright side

Where the morning finds me first

I'm staying on the bright side

Where the good days quench the thirst

Let the shadows keep their distance

Let the cold wind pass me by

I'm staying on the bright side

Till the day I say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh, stay with me

Oh-oh, stay with me

[Bridge]

I have seen the long way down

I have felt the hollow sound

Turned my collar to the rain

Chose the sun and chose the grain

I will not go wandering

Where the light forgets to fall

I will keep on singing

I will answer when it calls

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

I'm staying on the bright side

Where the morning finds me first

I'm staying on the bright side

Where the good days quench the thirst

Let the shadows keep their distance

Let the cold wind pass me by

I'm staying on the bright side

Till the day I say goodbye

[Post-Chorus]

Oh-oh, stay with me

Oh-oh, stay with me

Stay with me

Stay with me
