Restless Kid
Recorded by Ricky Nelson
Written by Johnny Cash

G
I came in like a restless wind on a wagon train 

But I'm gonna go like a July snow 

Back to where I came from gonna leave this humdrum
     D7           G
It's too slow and tame 


None of your business where I've been 

Don't ask me what I've done 

Run your ranch and punch your cows 

And stay behind my gun man Colorado's right hand
     D7             G
Will put you on the run 


I've got a gal in Denver town that's crying over me 

But I said goodbye and I let her cry 

I miss her company but I'll get out of this rut
    D7              G
Rio Bravo's killing me 


They gotta man locked in a cell 

That's a freer man than I

He's gonna laugh right in their face 

When they lead him out to die and 

He's gonna leave these badlands 
    D7              G
And ride off in the sky 


You're gonna see old Colorado headed for the door 

You better believe I'm gonna leave like the 904 train 

Gonna breathe some air again 
     D7                  G
That ain't been breathed before
