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
