Settle Down Lyrics

You can work until you're worthless

Or walk on streets of gold

Try and hold on to the past

It will fade as you grow old

Try and give your life away

You'll wind up empty in the end

Go and take on all their burdens

To find out who you call friend

So decide if time's worth wasting

And drive your Chevy into the ground

Next time you get the chance

Know, I may not be around

Go and climb on every mountain

Oh, and ramble through every town

I may be sick and tired

But I'll never settle down

Let my life be an example

Of how to stare right down the barrel

You don't have to feel so fearful

While you're living in death's shadow

There's a peace found in the gallows

Knowing you already lost the battle

So decide if time's worth wasting

And drive your Chevy into the ground

Next time you get the chance

Know, I may not be around

Go and climb on every mountain

Oh, and ramble through every town

I may be sick and tired

But I'll never settle down

From dust you will return

To dust you will return

It's a short and sweet arrangement

And I'll tell you what I've learned

Ain't no time in life worth wasting

Don't let your worries drag you down

This may be your last chance

To set your feet on solid ground

And when you've climbed on every mountain

And rambled through every town

If you get sick and tired

Don't you ever settle down

I said if you get sick and tired

Don't you ever settle down
