Boy, Settle Down

acousticmelodiccountry

[Verse]
Dusty boots on a wooden porch,
Sunlight fading, days grow short,
Mama’s voice on the evening breeze,
Calling him home with her soft pleas.

[Verse 2]
Old man’s tales ‘round the campfire glow,
Stories of the past that he shouldn't let go,
Rooster crows at the break of dawn,
Boy, settle down before you’re gone.

[Chorus]
Boy, settle down, don't you see?
Roots run deep like an old oak tree,
Life’s too short to roam and stray,
Find your place, don't drift away.

[Verse 3]
Fields of gold, they need your care,
Family’s love is waiting there,
Dreams can grow in your backyard,
Future's brighter when you work hard.

[Verse 4]
Train whistle blows in the dead of night,
Tempting you to catch that sight,
But the road ahead ain't paved in gold,
Boy, settle down before you grow old.

[Chorus]
Boy, settle down, don't you see?
Roots run deep like an old oak tree,
Life’s too short to roam and stray,
Find your place, don't drift away.
