Been a while since I made that house phone ring
Mama, that's my fault
I've been on the road, chasing that dream
But I got one of them girls you prayed I'd find
And told me not to go and mess it up with
Thought I knew it all 'til she was mine
And now I know I don't know nothin'
What's a boy to do
When he finds the right one, mama
And he's spent his whole life runnin'
She makes me wanna settle down
Plant some roots in this old town
And if we add some limbs to the family tree
That's alright by me
That's alright by me
Lord knows that old live oak
Could use a couple more branches
After the storms that it's been through
She's the kind of sweet, the kind of green
That might just save the whole damn thing
If we give it time to bloom
What's a boy to do
When he finds the right one, mama
And he's spent his whole life runnin'
She makes me wanna settle down
Plant some roots in this old town
And if we add some limbs to the family tree
That's alright by me
She's the kind that makes her way into a wandering soul
Makes a rolling stone wanna roll back home
What's a boy to do
When he finds the right one, mama
And he's spent his whole life runnin'
She makes me wanna settle down
Plant some roots in this old town
And if we add some limbs to the family tree
That's alright by me
That's alright by me
