I let my fear of the coming sunrise Chase me clear to California Found a town between two mountains Where I make my bed for now Found work with a family friend As a temporary ranch hand While the winds that whip around me Do their best to settle me down But I'll wait it out Ain't no settling for settling down If there's a land rush, I'm gonna chase it to the sea Oh I got to believe that it'll all work out I got to believe a change will come around If there's a land rush, I'm gonna chase it to the sea Yea and I'm gonna settle the land The land ain't gonna settle me Who knew these towns named after saints Could be so good to the sinners And if I make it through the winter Won't this place feel more like home Still my mind it wanders back to the house that I grew up in Don't the sleepy sounds of sweet home rest easy on my soul
