STAY HOME
Richard Keller
performed by Richard Keller and Sharon Vazquez

There's a movie bout a lonesome woman, and she looks a lot like me,
The husband is a serviceman, who's heading overseas.
It's not fair that I should be alone, the best years of my life,
It's not fair to me, oh honey, but you can make it right.

Stay home, stay home, stay home and watch T.V.,
Stay home, stay home, stay home and tune in me.
Let me be the movie star that takes you to the edge.
You can be the hero who escorts me up to bed.

Every time you have to go, I cry a little more,
I worry what will happen, as you leave for foreign shores.
The world is a lonesome place when you're so far away,
Before you take that flight again, there's something I must say.

Stay home, stay home, stay home and watch T.V.,
Stay home, stay home, stay home and tune in me.
Let me be the movie star that takes you to the edge.
You can be the hero who escorts me up to bed.
Stay here and pretend with me we're lovers on the beach.

Actors on a movie set where bullets cannot reach,
For one last night let's make believe the scene won't fade to black.
I'm so afraid that this time you leave, you won't be coming back.

(Instrumental Break)

Stay home, stay home, stay home and watch T.V.,
Stay home, stay home, stay home and tune in me.
Let me be the movie star that takes you to the edge.
You can be the hero who escorts me up to bed.

(Repeat first voice and refrain)
