Sun comes up, and I hit the road
Dust on my boots and a heavy load
Mama said: Boy, you were born to roam
Never could stay too long at home

I got a fire burnin' under my skin
A runaway soul in the shape I'm in

I'm restless, like the river rolls
Chasin' dreams down long dirt roads
Can't sit still, can't slow down
Got a wild heart that won't be bound
No map, no plan, just a compass in my heart
Lord, I was made to be restless

Old love letters in the glovebox fade
Like the promises I never made
Every miles just a brand-new song
And every goodbye helps me move along

Midnight winds and the whistle moan
I feel alive when I'm alone

I'm restless, like the river rolls
Chasin' dreams down long dirt roads
Can't sit still, can't slow down
Got a wild heart that won't be bound
No map, no plan, just a compass in my heart
Lord, I was made to be restless

I live running like my wild horses
I live restless, always restless

I'm restless, like the river rolls
Chasin' dreams down long dirt roads
Can't sit still, can't slow down
Got a wild heart that won't be bound
No map, no plan, just a compass in my heart
Lord, I was made to be restless

Yeah, I was made to be
Restless

One day I'll rest where the tall pines sway
But not till I've seen every highway

'Cause I'm restless, like the river rolls
Chasin' dreams down long dirt roads
Can't sit still, can't slow down
Got a wild heart that won't be bound
No map, no plan, just a compass in my heart
Lord, I was made to be restless

Yeah, I was made to be
Restless
