she gets a little restless in the spring
she might follow the lines you sing
bull%#@! 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

bull%#@! though they are
sometimes that`s just the thing
