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
