Restless Highway Songtext

(Richard Thompson) I am a travelling man, I have no country And travelling people are my kin by birth No chains will keep me from my destination And far flung are my footsteps on this earth There's something in my mind that makes me Something in the wind that takes me Like the dust, I'm blown out on the street again Restless highway, I need to leave this town behind Restless highway, Some sweeter country on my mind You'll hear my footsteps Wherever this rocky road will wind This empty restless highway is my home By way of trade I'm anything you fancy I'll solder pots or milk your gurning cow I'll shine your shoes or sew your silver buttons I'll blunt your nose or sharpen up your plough There's something in my mind that makes me Something in the wind that takes me Like the dust, I'm blown out on the street again Restless highway, I need to leave this town behind Restless highway, Some sweeter country on my mind You'll hear my footsteps Wherever this rocky road will wind This empty restless highway is my home Oh, this empty restless highway is my home
