Settle Down - The McClymonts

Norma it ain’t no use

Your little boy is outta control

He’s got a burning fuse

He’s got a broken circuit

Started out way back when

You took him to his first rodeo

Those little eyes lit up

That little heart was sealed in stone

Mother just let him go

You can’t stop the rain from falling

He’s gonna ride that colt

And one of them’s gonna end up broken

Lordy what a price to pay

All that work for all that trouble

Before you accept your fate

Love the man or walk away

Oh yeah-yeah

Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?

Where you gonna be when the sun goes down?

Will you ever quit when you’ve had enough?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

How in the world will you find your way

When the lovin' is good

But the lovin' won’t pay?

Where you gonna go when the lights die out

And the dust has settled down?

Settle down

Papa couldn’t understand

Why he had to leave the station

Taught him how to work the land

«Boy your dreams ain’t worth the chasin»

And up until the day he died

The bridle could not ease his sorrow

Cursed his passion and cursed his pride

These are the final words he cried

Oh

Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?

Where you gonna be when the sun goes down?

Will you ever quit when you’ve had enough?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

How in the world will you find your way

When the lovin' is good

But the lovin' won’t pay?

Where you gonna go when the lights die out

And the dust has settled down?

Settle down

Oh, oh

I said whatcha gonna be when you grow up?

Where you gonna be when the sun goes down?

Will you ever quit when you’ve had enough?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

How in the world will you find your way

When the lovin' is good

But the lovin' won’t pay?

Where you gonna go when the lights die out

And the dust has settled down?

Settle down

Whatcha gonna be when you grow up?

Where you gonna be when the sun goes down?

Will you ever quit when you’ve had enough?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

How in the world will you find your way

When the lovin' is good

But the lovin' won’t pay?

Where you gonna go when the lights die out

And the dust has settled down?

Settle down

Settle down

Settle down

Settle

Down
