Lyrics James McMurtry – Restless
Text:
She gets a little restless in the spring
She might follow the lines you sing
Bullshit though they are
‘Cause sometimes that’s just the thing
Fingertips on satin lace
Cutting cards and quoting Proust
Whatever turns her wild mare loose
She gets a little restless now and then
She feels the changes in the wind
Way down deep where I can’t see
She can get clean away from me
With a side step and subtle shift
And the turning of a key
Locks me out and lets me drift
She’ll come back if I let her be
She’ll come back if I let her be
And I’m just a little down tonight
I’m just a little down
A little messed up is all I’m saying
Just a little down tonight
I’m just a little down
But I believe I’ll make it
Believe I’ll make it
She gets a little restless I can tell
When she goes back up inside her shell
And the conversation slows
To a stop and I might as well
Be out alone on the highway
Way off in the Utah sage
That’s when I get restless too
She gets a little restless in the spring
She might follow the lines you sing
Bullshit though they are
Sometimes that’s just the thing
