"Restless" lyrics

Restless

(With Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)

I walked up to her window
I said, "Give me a ticket please"
She said, "Where're you going?"
I said, "That's all right with me"

Baby, I'm restless
I got to get on out of town
Take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found

Lord, I'm travelling light
Cause I might be going far
Taking nothing but clothes on my back
And my big guitar

Cause I'm just restless
I got to get on out of town
I gotta go right now
Just take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found
Huh-huh

Well, tell that driver
To put his big foot on that gas
Run this old grey dog
As long as it might last

Cause I'm restless
I got to get on out of town
Take me where the living's easy
Take me where that I'll be found

Well, run this old grey dog
Any place he wants to go
Long as I can get
A little farther down the road

Cause I'm restless
I got to get on out of town
Take me where the living's easy
Anywhere it can be found
All right y'all

Oh, I walked up to her window
I said, "Give me a ticket please"
She said, "Boy, where're you going?"
I said, "That's all right with me"

I'm just restless
I got to get on out of town
I gotta go right now
Y'all take me where the living's easy
That's where John Lee will be found

Lord, I'm traveling light
Cause I might be going far
Taking nothing but clothes on my back
And my big guitar

Cause I'm just restless
I got to get on out of town
I gotta go right now
Take me where the living's easy
Baby, that's where I'll be found
Lord, Lord, Lord
Can I pick?
