Saddle Storms - She Stayed

She Stayed | Saddle Storms | Saddle Storms Album

Most people leave. This one didn't. She Stayed isn't a love song. It's better than that. It's twenty-five years of cold ones and dark roads, of road trips across two states and standing at gravesides, of someone who showed up on your worst night and just never left.

If you have ever had that ride or die best friend that is more like a sister than a sister can be then this is for you. To my best friend... she knows who she is. No drama. No conditions. Just move over, I ain't going anywhere. Written for the woman who showed up with a cold one and a grin on the worst night of my life and never once looked back. Original by Saddle Storms.

[Verse 1] She showed up in my darkest hour with a cold one and a grin, Said "Move over, I ain't leaving, you might as well let me in." I'd been burned enough to know that most folks eventually go, But she planted herself beside me in the eye of every storm. [Pre-Chorus] She knew when to bite her tongue and when to say, "Oh no darlin', we ain't doing this today." [Chorus] Twenty-five years of whiskey nights and raising a little hell, Thelma and Louise without the ending, Lord we've got tales to tell. Through the heartbreak and the dark roads and the ones we couldn't save, She never once looked back and she never once walked away. She's my wild Wyoming wind, the sister that I chose, Ride or die, my best friend — everybody else just goes. But she stayed. [Verse 2] Road trips chasing music cross two states half through the night, Dancing like nobody's watching underneath the neon light. She was there when babies came into this world brand new, And standing right beside me when we lost the ones we knew. [Pre-Chorus] She stopped the fights I'd lose and fought the ones I'd win, Picked me off the floor and put me back again. [Chorus] Twenty-five years of whiskey nights and raising a little hell, Thelma and Louise without the ending, Lord we've got tales to tell. Through the heartbreak and the dark roads and the ones we couldn't save, She never once looked back and she never once walked away. She's my wild Wyoming wind, the sister that I chose, Ride or die, my best friend — everybody else just goes. But she stayed. [Bridge] They say you can't choose your family — Well darlin', that's where they're wrong. I chose you on the worst night of my life, And you've been proving them right all along. [Chorus] Twenty-five years of whiskey nights and raising a little hell, Thelma and Louise without the ending, Lord we've got tales to tell. Through the heartbreak and the dark roads and the ones we couldn't save, She never once looked back and she never once walked away. She's my wild Wyoming wind, the sister that I chose, Ride or die, my best friend — everybody else just goes. But she stayed. [Outro] Here's to the one who stayed. Here's to you, Kat. Twenty-five years and still standing. Lord willin', twenty-five more.
