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 grace
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
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
