Richard Buckner - Settled Down lyrics

Left the shack in the Rambler and we tumbled up north on One half-shelled, barbecue, third honeymoon and a sleepy son we pulled along and wandered on about a year or so And when the sun was low the ditch was deep and the glow the first to go Drove past the kin once and again without a blink or a breath found the last room in town and settled in for a little rest the night before the big red barn and tequila tears and I feel so much lighter now than in my younger years 'Cause I'm younger now history my dear friend years away you say my name I'm settled down but I won't give up again Years of trouble from a broken promise and a drop-jaw heart at seventeen I'd never stopped to think that I'd have made it that far well who's to know we'd all built our lives on chaos and luck I never knew the heart could take such a beating and still beat so much after the stop sign night and a highway cry well dear we're still here and sometimes I wonder what I was thinking of in that sinkhole year well Chico's gone like a shadow on the wall in our room tonight and one of these days as the daylight fades I'm just gonna lie down, dear, and turn out the light 'Cause I'm younger now my history my dear friend years away you say my name I'm settled down but I won't give up again I know I stay out to late with the latin once in a while We both know the temptation of a stone drunk's sad bitter friendly smile the stars are out and when I am too dear I dream of you and I miss you more as that wicked sun chews away at our precious moon And I'm younger now history my dear friend years away you say my name I'm settled down but I won't give up again Years away you say my name
