RESTLESS
(Bill Anderson / Skeeter Davis)

Bill Anderson - 1963



(Restless, restless)

I slept last night in the bus depot in Pittsburg
Tonight I walk the streets of Baltimore
Ain't no tellin' where I'll be tomorrow
My baby don't care and I don't anymore

I've grown restless (Like the wind that blows)
Restless (Like nobody knows)
I'm runnin' from the one I'm longin' for
Oh, I'm restless (And I can't stand still)
Restless (And I never will)
My baby don't care and I don't anymore
(Restless, restless)

My baby fell in love with a man in Frisco
Left me standin' in the midnight freezin' cold
I took a train back east to West Virginia
But there ain't no takin' this achin' out of my soul

I've grown restless (Like the wind that blows)
Restless (Like nobody knows)
I'm runnin' from the one I'm longin' for
Oh, I'm restless (And I can't stand still)
Restless (And I never will)
My baby don't care and I don't anymore
('Cause I'm restless, restless)
