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
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
James McMurtry
James McMurtry (born March 18, 1962, in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American rock and folk rock/americana singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader, and occasional actor (Daisy Miller, Lonesome Dove, and narrator of Ghost Town: 24 Hours in Terlingua). He performs with veteran bandmates Daren Hess, Cornbread and Tim Holt.
His father, novelist Larry McMurtry, gave him his first guitar at age seven. His mother, an English professor, taught him how to play it: "My mother taught me three chords and the rest I just stole as I went along. I learned everything by ear or by watching people."
