Restless Highway

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
