And so she stands With her hands in her pockets and her hair Tossing 'round in the wind
All alone At the edge of a station She'll never see again
Oh, she's a restless one Oh, she's a restless one
Well, the tired diesel Punched a hole in the sunrise With a whistle and a cloud of steam
Yeah, she steps on Dragging an old brown satchel To another place she's never been
Oh, she's a restless one Oh, she's a restless one
And she knows there will be time For a thousand indecisions Nothing but time and a prayer in this sleepy old town Time waits on nobody's wishes She throws away her promises to see what was out there
She stands alone One foot on the station And the other foot upon the train
Well, she's stuck between Her lifelong ambition And the life she'll never see again
Oh, she's a restless one Oh, she's a restless one Oh, she's a restless one
Watching her life passing by Restless one Right in front of her eyes
