i was born in a farming town but i never pushed a plow
it’s not that i didn’t care to but nobody showed me how
so i won’t set down ‘cause nobody showed me how
i was to be a teaching man like the best ones that i had
but the bad ones they were happy and the good ones they went mad
so i won’t set down ‘cause the good ones they went mad
and i won’t set down
there’s more that i could do
but i won’t set down
gotta move on to something new
and i won’t set down but that’s not true
‘cause i’ll set down with you
i wasn’t yet into dylan but i’d read kerouac
so i went out to the west coast and three times i came back
and i won’t set down, three times i came back
i went out to the ends of the earth to see what i didn’t know
but i came home too early to jingle bells and snow
so i won’t set down to jingle bells and snow
and i won’t set down
there’s more that i could do
but i won’t set down
gotta move on to something new
and i won’t set down but that’s not true
‘cause i’ll set down with you
i loved you in the winter time and you loved me in the spring
in the summer we got married but you didn’t get a diamond ring
‘cause i won’t set down, you didn’t get a diamond ring
we roam this land together now with two boys and a pet
one of them boys plays fiddle but the other plays hard to get
and he won’t set down, the other plays hard to get
and i won’t set down
there’s more that i could do
but i won’t set down
gotta move on to something new
and i won’t set down but that’s not true
‘cause i’ll set down with you
