Settle Down

SETTLE DOWN]/b] (Scheinman) Red Rudy Too Tunes/BMI 4:59

I got a farm up in Gilbertville
Two teenage boys and a little girl
I thought I’s gonna have to sell
Don’t want to talk about it

I’ve always dreamed of livin off the land
Growing things with these two hands
I could’ve had a better plan
Don’t want to talk about it

Settle down, settle down
I keep hearing things will turn around
Settle down, settle down
No need to panic things will turn around

The last three years haven’t seen much rain
The banks are tired of hearing me complain
They say “Go get a job boy so you can pay.”
Or you can forget about it


And I pray my kids don’t make the same mistakes
I’m barely puttin food on their plates
But I can tell they’ve got what it takes
Don’t have to worry about it

Settle down, settle down
I keep hearing things will turn around
Settle down, settle down
No need to panic things will turn around

Life ain’t cheap and life ain’t fair
But that’s got nothin to do with why we’re here
I keep pluggin ‘long year after year

And so the government it supports me some
But not enough to really hurt no one
My fields are baking underneath the sun
Don’t want to talk about it

By the grace of God I got into this mess
By the grace of God I’ll get out of it
I can’t believe my wife hasn’t left
Oh baby please don’t go

Just Settle down, settle down
I keep hearing things will turn around
Settle down, settle down
No need to panic things will turn around

Settle down, settle down
I got a feeling things will turn around
Settle down, settle down
I keep telling you it’ll turn around
