English term or phrase: I settled down

Trying to translate this for a song, it is about a city girl who got married and moved to a small town. Can't quite think of the best way to say this in Spanish.

Don't want to post the exact lyrics, but basically talks about the girl's experiences in the city (bright lights, running around, never satisfied, always busy... but I settled down, got married and moved away and now I miss my old life).

Thanks in advance for your help!
