I'm Gonna Settle Down Songtext

von Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

Every night I'm all alone never place to call my own
Don't have no one to love me anymore
I'm gonna pack up my grip and take a long long trip
Back to the one that I love so

So long to go back to my darlin' back to the one I love so well
I know she'll be my wife when we'll settle down for life
For she's the one who means the world to me

[ mandolin ]
I can't forget the day I laughed and went away
You told me I'd be sorry some old day
I found it to be true so I'm headin' back to you
Sweetheart I'm tired and I'm gonna settle down
So long to go back...

[ fiddle ]
When I get back to her my ramblin' days are o'er
We'll build a little cottage on the hill
We'll think of days gone by sweetheart just you and I
And now we'll live so happy evermore

So long to go back...
