Wheel of Fortune on the TV
Stouffers in the microwave
Mama helps with the babies
Brother's 'bout to graduate
Gas is cheap, work is fine
Grass is green, sometimes
We're all goin' to heaven
But no one gets the hell out of Dodge
The high heels mama lived in
Don't fit but we're stuck with
Settling down, settling scores
Living a life we shouldn't settle for
We settle like rust on the chains of the porch swing
This town has a way of settling things
We're all kinda happy
We're all kinda bored
And dreams are made for songs
In magazines at the grocery store
Twenty mile picket fence
That we're all living in
We're all goin' to heaven
But no one gets the hell out of Dodge
The high heels mama lived in
Don't fit but we're stuck with
Settling down, settling scores
Living a life we shouldn't settle for
We settle like rust on the chains of the porch swing
This town has a way of settling things, ooh
All we know is what we've seen
Swear to God, we're gonna leave
I think I'm going to heaven
But I can't get the hell outta dodge
It's two miles to highway 7
And it ain't me, but I keep
Settling down, settling scores
Living a life I shouldn't settle for
I settle like rust on the chains of the porch swing
This town has a way of settling things
