My friends in high school
Married a high school boyfriend
Moved into houses
In the same city where their parents lived [Am] But I
I [C] couldn't follow
No, [Am] I
I [C] couldn't follow
I hit highway
And beat Barbie with stars on ceiling
They like it see Big strong
I'm here and I will
I've [Am] been a [G] long time
[F] [C] [Am] Maybe [G] someday, someday I'm [F] gonna [C] settle down
But [Am] I [G]
always
[F] [C] [Am] By taking [G] a long [F] way
[C] [Am] [G] Taking a long way [F] around
[C] [Am] Taking [G] a long [F] way
[C] [Am] Taking a long way
Taking [G] a long way [F] around
[C]
I met the queen of the river
Drink with the Irish
Smoke with the hippie
Move with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses
That they told me to [Am] No, I
I couldn't [C] follow
No, [Am] I
I couldn't [G] follow
I [Am] spent
[G] A [F] long year
[C] Now, [Am] since the top [G] of the world

Well I [C] found one stranger and I met a higher man
I heard my voice, they can get pretty lonely when they show yourself
Guess I could've made it easier on myself
[Am] But I, I could [C] never follow No
[Am]
[G]
[Am] Well I said, [G] [C]
[Am] maybe someday, [G] someday [F] I'm gonna [C] settle down
