[Verse 1]
This ain't no nine-to-five
This job we're doin' brought me to your town tonight
Singin' 'bout the slower, lower way of life
I'ma tell you now, it's more than just a song
When I cross that Sussex County line
The ocean air and a beach chair and a welcome sign
Gives me that easy feelin' every time
Don't get me wrong, I love bein' with y'all
But when I get home

[Chorus]
I settle on back with my boys at the pier
And drink a few beers, watch the sun disappear
And chasin' that young, never gonna grow up
Never reach the bottom of a Solo cup
I settle on back, watch the tide set low
Settin' hooks with my Shimano fishin' pole
Whenever I find them good years rollin' way too fast
Yeah, I just settle on back

[Verse 2]
I love the neon lights
The crowd, the band, the show, and the fast life
But every now and then, I need a peace of mind
A dirt road to a dock
Somewhere we're makin' time stop
[Chorus]
I settle on back with my boys at the pier
And drink a few beers, watch the sun disappear
And chasin' that young, never gonna grow up
Never reach the bottom of a Solo cup
I settle on back, watch the tide set low
Settin' hooks with my Shimano fishin' pole
Whenever I find them good years rollin' way too fast
Yeah, I just settle on back

[Post-Chorus]
Settle on back, settle on back, yeah
Settle on back, settle on back, yeah
Settle on back, settle on back, yeah

[Bridge]
'Cause I don't do it for the dollars, no
I just do it for the hollers
Let me hear ya holler

[Chorus]
I settle on back with my boys at the pier
And drink a few beers, watch the sun disappear
And chasin' that young, never gonna grow up
Never reach the bottom of a Solo cup
I settle on back, watch the tide set low
Settin' hooks with my Shimano fishin' pole
Whenever I find them good years rollin' way too fast
Yeah, I just settle on back
[Outro]
I settle on back
I just settle on back
Yeah, yeah, yeah
