I'm So Restless
(McGuinn/Levy)
Hey Mr.D do you want me to be
a farmer, a cowhand, an old country boy
to get up in the a.m. and tend to the
chore
and leave all my troubles behind a
locked door
Layin' with my lady and strummin' on
my toy
Oh I know what you mean and it sounds
good to me
but oh Mr.D. I'm so restless
Hey Mr.L. so you want me to yell
to howl at the moon when I'm losing my
grip
without no possesions and finding myself
the picture of mental and physical
health
But I'm still paying dues for that
Indian trip
And I know what you mean and it sure
rings a bell
but oh Mr.L. I'm so restless
Hey Mr.J. you want me to stray
to be a bad boy a mean boy and ready to
kill
Wrigglin' and slinkin' in snakeskin
and black
Holding my thumb on some chick in the
sack
And never say no if it gives me a thrill
Well I know what you mean and I'd go
all the way
but oh Mr.J. I'm so restless
