Lyrics
Restless Reckless
(Copyright RobRoy West Music)
I wasn't yet in high school
when daddy brought it home
to me it was a chariot
candy apple red and chrome
Don't even think about it
was the first thing that he said
don't ever take it by yourself
but when he turned his head...
Restless, reckless
you're gonna get somebody in a big mess
you can't go on like this
come take a free ride
come on and get inside
you live for danger's kiss
Cut to a few years later
a shadow on the lawn
taps upon her window
and she slips her housedress on
Reach up to help her down
I take her by the hand
don't wake her old man now
he might not understand...
Restless, reckless
you're gonna get somebody in a big mess
you can't go on like this
come take a free ride
come on and get inside
you live for danger's kiss
I still get the strangest
ideas in my head
this ain't childs' play no more
a man could end up dead...
Restless, reckless
you're gonna get your body in a big mess
you can't go on like this
come take a free ride
come on and get inside
you live for danger
you want a free ride
you wanna get inside
you live for danger's kiss
