Did You Settle Down Too Soon

Starting quarterback on your high school football team

You had everything all that I wanted to be

But then you met a girl from out west

And then one kiss turned into three kids

Now when I ask how you're doing

You just sigh and say you never sleep

And you've been sitting ten minutes in the driveway

And she's calling wondering if you're on your way

But you're already home

The only time you get to be alone

So, did you settle down too soon?

Gave up on the stars and stayed on the moon

See your family through the stained-glass door

This dream wasn't yours, you guess it'll do

No judgment here, I promise

But have you done everything you wanted?

I wanna know

Did you settle down too soon?

I haven't but I'm happy

And I hope you are too

Talking down to me, you must think I'm so lost

Yeah, what you have is nice, but I don't want that at all

'Cause how I'm breathing

Oh, yeah, it's different

I left a small town

And I don't miss it

We only got one life

So there isn't really right or wrong

Now you're working for the family company and

Going golfing with your buddies on the weekend

And yeah, it all sounds great

But when I think about your glory days

I wonder

Did you settle down too soon?

Gave up on the stars and stayed on the moon

See your family through the stained-glass door

This dream wasn't yours, you guess it'll do

No judgment here I promise

But have you done everything you wanted?

I wanna know

Did you settle down too soon?

I haven't but I'm happy

Don't want you wake up tomorrow

And ask yourself, "Where did I go?"

I wonder

Did you settle down too soon?

Gave up on the stars and stayed on the moon

See your family through the stained-glass door

This dream wasn't yours, you guess it'll do
