Jayber Crow - The News About Michael, Married in Mexico lyrics

Settle down, Michael, settle down Married in Mexico Settle down, Michael, settle down And wrote the news back home So the town could talk and marvel second-hand At international nuptials with details in demand Settle down, Michael, settle down And keep her by your side Settle down, Michael, settle down And took her as your bride Now you want to bring her home to your family But the border guard is thinking differently Is this love under jurisdiction of these political borders? Documents she doesn't have They aren't secured The wedding band Nearing your departure date Days come and go And you're afraid She won't come back She won't come back She won't come back She won't come back, well, She won't come back She won't come back She won't come back She won't come back with you Settle down, Michael, settle down But she's still in Mexico Settle down, Michael, settle down And I wonder if I'll ever know The things you must be feeling now Like love that conquers all your doubts Still I can't seem to sort it out But maybe someday I will understand.
