Letras
If I ride the rails across the Mississippi
If I soar across St. Helen in the fall
Boy, I tell you I would do a lot less cryin'
If I never went away from you at all
I would wander lazily around our garden
Throw parties every Sunday afternoon
Make my livin' doin' somethin' far more settled
Than stayin' up all night to play my tunes
Only I know why I get restless
If I could tell it all to you, you know I would
But I can tell you somethin' I believe for certain
I'd never write no songs if I stayed put
Your love is too comforting to spur me
To do anything but bask in afterglow
I can't tell nobody nothin' about sufferin'
When all you ever do is give me what I want
Cause a poet needs to wrestle with her demons
And mine were all enchanted long ago
All they do is lay around in adoration
Till I wake 'em up by walkin' out the door
Only I know why I get restless
If I could tell it all to you, you know I would
But I can say with all the certainty I'm given
I'd never write no songs if I stayed put
'Cause you're too good to me to give me the motivation
No, I'd never write no songs if I stayed put
