Lyrics to Settle Down

[INTRO]



(Woo)



Na na-na

Na-na Na-na Na

Na Na-Na

Na-na Na-na Na



[VERSE 1]



A different time in a far away place

Born into bad news, a smile on my face

Was wild an crazy like a caged dog freed

Ain't nothing like being young, broke and naive



I was driving my Chevy, steady, my foot feeling heavy

Ready for whatever life goes and throws my way

In motels I was sleeping, eating in diners and leaving

Little ladies with broken hearts all down the highway



And it's hazy baby I can't remember the names

Ah man it's crazy baby when you think about the good old days

(Days, days)



[Chorus]



I was free and I was young

But It's been a long road from 21

Tryna survive here in the U.S.A

Till them good ol' boys come and take me away



I said, no I won't

Go and settle down

I said, no I won't

I don't think that I can settle down



[VERSE 2]



In a Charleston bar I met an angry old man

He sang the blues and told me all about Vietnam

He said, “Hey son, you're lucky just to be alive”

“Cuz these days there really ain't no place to hide”



So I'm running, I'm riding, I'm rocking, rolling, I'm flying

I'm making up for lost timin' and I'm just finding myself

I was young and in love and I didn't know who to trust

Hopped on that greyhound bus, man it was hotter than hell



And it's crazy baby to think about the things we can't change

Ah man it's hazy baby, when you think about the good old days

(Days, days)



[Chorus]



I was free and I was young

But It's been a long road from 21

Tryna survive here in the U.S.A

Till them good ol' boys come and take me away



I said, no I won't

Go and settle down

I said, no I won't

I don't think that I can settle down



[Chorus]



I was free and I was young

But It's been a long road from 21

Tryna survive here in the U.S.A

Till them good ol' boys come and take me away



I said, no I won't

Go and settle down

I said, no momma I won't

I don't think that I can settle down
