Settle​-​Down Kind

from Straight Up by Dusty Woods

/

about

Some folks are just born to wander. Light and lively country song about a wandering man.

lyrics

Travellin' has always been my way
Of tryin' to ease my troubled mind
Movin' up and down this endless highway,
I guess I'm not the settle-down kind.

Somewhere on the blacktop or down a gravel road
There must be something I need to find.
It must be not knowin' that's such a heavy load,
I guess I'm not the settle-down kind.

Bridge
Well, I've got to see the other side of every mountain
Guess that's just the way I'll always be,
Give me my suitcase and an old guitar,
And don't stand between the door and me...

Honey when it gets to be my time to roam,
Please don't think I'm bein' unkind.
Way down inside I was born a rollin' stone,
I'm not the settle-down kind.

about

Dusty Woods Clementsvale, Nova Scotia

Born in BC, Canada in 1947, Dusty started performing in bands in his early teens. He was always honing his craft, learning stagecraft from more experienced performers.

Dusty passed away in Nova Scotia in 2017. The man is gone, but his music lives on. Dusty's online presence is managed by Mrs. Dusty (Jeri-Lynn Woods). My goal is to share the magic and keep the Dusty Woods legacy alive.
