Josh Abbott Band - Settle Me Down Lyrics

Josh Abbott Band Lyrics

"Settle Me Down"

What good's a highway without a destination?
What good's a house without someone to come home to?
What's a night at the top of the world without you there beside me?
No, there ain't no good in it without you

You settle me down when I go too far, when I burn too fast, when I lose my way
Hold onto me, whisper to my soul, put my heart at ease when I'm 'bout to break
Always got the wind at my back, but you still love me when I live like that
Open my eyes, keep me around, pull me back in, and settle me down
Settle me down

Still got the tendency to lean over the edges
I still got the urge to chase the dream until it ends
You don't fence me in, yeah, you understand
But when I can't remember, you remind me who I am

You settle me down when I go too far, when I burn too fast, when I lose my way
Hold onto me, whisper to my soul, put my heart at ease when I'm 'bout to break
Always got the wind at my back, but you still love me when I live like that
Open my eyes, keep me around, pull me back in, and settle me down

Always got the wind at my back, but you still love me when I live like that
Open my eyes, keep me around, pull me back in, and settle me down
Follow me, I need you right now, cover me up, and settle me down
Settle me down

"Settle Me Down" was premiered exclusively on websites The Boot and Taste of Country on the 8th of October 2020.

This song was written by Josh Abbott with Ryan Beaver and Josh Jenkins Green River Ordinance. Abbott told about the inspiration, "Your partner's ability to calm your soul and lift you up when you're down is so important in a relationship. My wife is that and more for me when I come home tired from the road or stressed. It's our best song to date. Seriously. Everyone that's heard it has said the same."
