Settle Down
Am7add9 E
I grew up in a very small place
Bm
Everyone knew everyone’s business
C#m
But there was plenty of space
Am7add9
By the look in your eyes
E
I’m wonder what you think
Bm
As I show you the downtown
C#m
As we head to the creek
We always had fun
I’ll show you where we’d skate
Behind the post office
And in the alley on the banks
We spent a lot of time outside
Camping was a way of life
I could see myself settling here
And making you a wife
You didn’t know
That I brought you here for a reason
It’s time to plant some roots
C#m
It’s that time of season
E
Cause we settled down
A
On the edge of town
E
What more would you want
B
For your days of glory
E
Grab a couple poles
A
And some friends to hang around
E
We don’t care
B
If we hear the same story

We’d wake up in the morning
We’d run to the creek
We’d throw our lines in
While most people were still asleep
We’d pull in some decent size
Rainbow trout
The creek was always stocked
So the fish never ran out
This is a perfect place to plant a seed
With sunlight and shade
And everything you need
If you’ll take my hand
I’ll get down on one knee
As the rattlesnake sleeps
Under the old oak tree

Cause we settled down
On the edge of town
What more would you want
For your days of glory
Grab a couple poles
And some friends to hang around
We don’t care
If we hear the same story

When we were kids
We built a halfpipe skate ramp
We had a boat on the lake
Where we learned to skurf
There was a thirty foot fullpipe
At the edge of the dam
And yeah we roll our boards there
Whenever we can
I’m just trying to say
I hope you understand
This could be a dream
Would you please take my hand

Cause we settled down
On the edge of town
What more would you want
For your days of glory
Grab a couple poles
And some friends to hang around
We don’t care
If we hear the same story

Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town
Settle down
On the edge of town

Cause we settled down
On the edge of town
What more would you want
For your days of glory
Grab a couple poles
And some friends to hang around
We don’t care
If we hear the same story

Cause we settled down
On the edge of town
What more would you want
For your days of glory
Grab a couple poles
And some friends to hang around
We don’t care
If we hear the same story
