Restless Wanderer Lyrics by Nathan Payne

American Infidel

2007

I'm not afraid of getting old
The days are long and the nights are cold
The days are cold and the nights are long
Baby, why ya do me wrong?
You could take me all the way to Mississippi
But it still wouldn't be far enough from you
The only thing that'll make me happy
The only thing that I'll never do
So I'm gonna leave the comforts of the city
And wash my hands in a cold mountain stream
Find myself a country girl so pretty
And live the life I've always dreamed
Like a restless wanderer I roam
Until the Lord calls me home
Until the stars fall from the sky
Until the day I die
Oh Jesus, I know that you don't need me
But Lord knows I need you
Wherever this winding road should lead me
Whatever it is that I'm supposed to do
So pack your bags, my darling
We're leaving
And I don't even care if we return
The streets of this town are crowded and uneven
Maybe someday we'll come back and watch it burn
