Restless Kid
Composer(s): Johnny Cash
Performer(s): Ricky Nelson; Waylon Jennings



I came in like a restless wind on a wagon train 
But I'm gonna go like a July snow 
Back to where I came from 
Gonna leave this humdrum it's too slow and tame 

None of your business where I've been 
Don't ask me what I've done 
Run your ranch and punch your cows 
And stay behind my gun man 

Colorado's right hand will put you on the run 
I've got a gal in Denver town 
That's crying over me 
But I said goodbye and I let her cry 

I miss her company but 
I'll get out of this rut, Rio Bravo's killing me 
They gotta man locked in a cell 
That's a freer man than I

He's gonna laugh right in their face 
When they lead him out to die and 
He's gonna leave these badlands 
And ride off in the sky 

You're gonna see old Colorado 
Headed for the door 
You better believe I'm gonna leave 
Like the 904 train 

Gonna breathe some air again 
That ain't been breathed before
