Settle Down (Goin’ Down That Highway) - Bobby Darin

i gave my things away.
i called the people that i only see on holidays,
this next year's going to burn a hole in me.
i spent my weekdays in my car
and the weekends drinking hard enough for two.
i think i'll settle down one of these days,
till i catch my breath.
i feel the weight of the world on my back
but i'm not feeling sick to death.
because i laid awake in bed
and thought of better times.
i never want to sleep
'cause i found apathy in laying down
and never waking up.
and never waking up.
i learned a lot today
cus' there's a reason why
i'll never live the easy way,
i'm trying to be real.
i wrote down words inside my arm
that say "i'll never walk alone"
'cause i get tired.
i know i'll have my friends in every way,
so i caught my breath,
and for the first time
i found what i'm looking for.
because i laid awake in bed
and thought of better times.
i never want to sleep
'cause i found apathy in laying down
and never waking up.
because i laid awake in bed
and thought of better times.
i never want to sleep
'cause i found apathy in laying down
and never waking up.
and never waking up.
yeah, i went down.
yeah, i found a way.
in the city where my father was born
i had a dream i moved out west.
i finally found out what i wanted to be
so i picked up where i left;
and i waited two more years
and covered up my ears.
i think i'm ready to sing this time.
i really think i'm gone.
because i laid awake in bed
and thought of better times.
i never want to sleep
'cause i found apathy in laying down
and never waking up.
and never waking up.
because i laid awake in bed
and thought of better times.
i never want to sleep
'cause i found apathy in laying down
and never waking up.
and never waking up.
