Billy Joe Shaver A Restless Wind Lyrics

Verse 1:
D Bm
A stone thrown from Heaven,skippin' 'cross the
water
E A
Would disappear in ripples left behind
D Bm
A book with no cover,a rhyme with no reason
E A
Guess i'll always be one of the rovin' kind

Verse 2:
D Bm
'Cause movin's in my soul,i guess a gypsy boy
got a hold
E A
Of somebody in my family long ago
D
Bm
If some night while half asleep you hear the
back door softly squeak
E A
You'll touch my empty pillow,then you'll know

Chorus:
Bm F#m
That restless wind,is calling me again
E A
Her warmin' hand is tuggin' at my soul
Bm F#m
Summer's gone,and winter's comin' on E A
And i can't let it catch me standin' in the
cold

Verse 3:
D Bm
Life made dice out of my bones and it won't
leave me alone
E A
'Till it warms me up and takes another roll
D Bm
You can't grow sullen every time,so there ain't
no use in cryin'
E A
It don't take an educated head to know

Verse 4:
D Bm
When i'm movin' down the road i won't need no
overload
E A
Nor memories of you to weigh my mind
D Bm
And every step i wade will be one more i could
take
E A
That put those memories further down the line

Chorus.
