Settling In

By the sun on my skin, you can tell where I've been

Took a short walk down a hard road and I dug my roots right in

I want to do it all, then do it all again

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

By the books on my shelf, you can tell I taught myself

By doing it the wrong way till I learned to ask for help

Family photos in the hallway of every me I've ever been

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

Like the grass on the path, like the leather on the Bible

Like the road where the wheels know where to go

Life's like the rain drops in the river carving out a perfect bend

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

By the pictures I can't show no one and how we got our nicknames

And the way we laugh at stories we can't tell

Takes a lifetime of strangers to find some real good friends

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

Like the grass on the path, like the leather on the Bible

Like the strings on this guitar tell my fingers where to go

I've always thought I'd be unsteady, paper airplane on the wind

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

I finally see the blessings in the things I might've missed

Still too young and stubborn to say what the meaning is

And I don't have all the answers but it's starting to make sense

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
