Restless

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 If delivered with panache and a certain graceFingertips 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 tonightI’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 Waving to the railroad crew 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
