Restless Feet Lyrics

I keep my feet restless

As I do my day to day

I'm always on the go

Moving at a steady pace

Cause if I ever stop

I'll have to answer to my mind

So I just keep-a-moving

To leave it all behind

My parents are gone

They died in my younger age

My mama took her life

And daddy died on Christmas day

So you can imagine why

The silence is deafening

And why I keep-a-moving

These ever restless feet

I keep-a-moving

I never settle down

I'll get out of the country

And move from town to town

If I'll ever stop

Only God can know

If He cares about me

In this world I roam

I'll strip down in the snow

For this year's Christmas card

And show all my friends and folks

To remind them of my scars

And raise a glass

For this past year's fun

And pour myself another

For the upcoming one

I keep-a-moving

I never settle down

I'll get out of the country

If our governor is a clown

If I'll ever stop

Only God can know

If He cares about where

These restless feet go

I don't want to stop

Don't want to settle down

I don't want to face the facts

That ring my neck around

I'll keep moving till I reach

The end of my road

Till they spread my ashes

Over Shenandoah

Till these restless feet

Can move no more
