  • Every reason not to go
    I don't think you'll like it
    I hear that city's cold
    And the people are much warmer
    Two good reasons not to go
    You fight traffic all day long
    Then you gotta pay to park
    You have to go around locking all your doors there after dark

    Don't know why you feel you gotta go somewhere
    Have you ever thought about just saying here
    If you let me I can give you don't you know
    Every reason not to go

    Their football team is lousy
    No matter what they do
    You can bet come Sunday they'll find a way to lose
    You'll hate the way the smoke and the buildings block the sky
    Got the prices jacked so high takes a million to get by

    Don't know why you feel you gotta go somewhere
    Have you ever thought about just saying here
    If you let me I can give you don't you know
    Every reason not to go

    There must be something in this town
    You'd be missing if you move
    'Cause I know if you weren't around I'd be missing you

    Don't know why you feel you gotta go somewhere
    Have you ever thought about just saying here
    I'm in love with you
    And baby now you know every reason not to go Writer/s: ANTHONY MARTIN, MARK NESLER, WILLIAM CURRINGTON
