I’m gonna get restless pretty soon
I’m gonna get restless pretty soon
My hat is pointed west
And my boots are pointed south
And I’m gonna get restless pretty soon

I hear the freight train all night long
Carrying coal to San Antone
I lie here in my bed
My blanket round my head
In the night I hear that airplane drone

Austin, Atlanta
The cities of the south
These old bones are aching for to go
I don’t think I’ll be seeing all these leaves a’falling
I’ll be out there followin’ the sun

Seasons changing round here
You can smell it in the air
Remember that I’m coming
Coming back for you
When you get restless around here

I’m gonna get restless pretty soon
I’m gonna get restless pretty soon
My hat is pointed west
And my boots are pointed south
And I’m gonna get restless pretty soon
