I gave up the fast lane for a Blacktop county road. Just burned out on all that talk About the motherlode. I traded for a songbird and A bigger piece of sky. When I miss the good old days I can't imagine why. [Chorus:] Still I get restless And drive into town I cruise once down Main Street And turn back around. It's crazy but God knows I don't act my age Like an old desperado Who paints the town beige. Down along the river And past the swimming hole You can find your piece of mind With just a fishin' pole. And you can walk the river For miles and miles on end And never stop believin' in SongtexteThat dream around the bend. [Chorus:] Still I get restless And drive into town My radio playin' My window rolled down. It's crazy but God knows I don't act my age Like an old desperado Who paints the town beige. Deep down in the winter Time slows to a crawl. There's really nothin' much to do Until the first spring thaw. It's then I get to thinkin' I must have gone insane. Memories roll through my mind Like a long slow railroad train. [Chorus:] Still I get restless And drive into town Watch the world through a windshield As it all comes unwound. It's crazy but God knows I don't act my age Like an old desperado Who paints the town beige. Aus Songtexte Mania
