Settle Down (Goin’ Down That Highway) Lyrics By Peter Paul Mary

    i’m goin’ down that highway goin’ to another town
    baby when i find what i’m looking for well then maybe i’ll settle down

    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down
    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down

    i worked my way from boston to that san francisco bay
    baby what i was looking for i couldn’t find along the way

    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down
    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down

    never been contented no matter where i roam
    it ain’t no fun to see a settin’ sun when you’re far away from home

    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down
    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down

    i’ve worked in the mills of pittsburgh in the hills of tennessee
    baby all i want is to find a job that will set my mind at ease

    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down
    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down

    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down
    why don’t you help me brother i’m a stranger in your town
    why don’t you help me sister and then maybe i’ll settle down
