Lyrics The Restless Age - Walter Trout

I used to be so angry
Uptight and full of rage
Lost in desperation
Just get me to the stage
But now I′m on the other side
I think I made it through
Now I just enjoy the ride
What else can I do?
Oh yeah, I guess perseverance pays
So glad, I'm so glad
I made it through the restless age

Ricky boy has had enough
He′s leavin'for the coast
Gonna get his head together
Get away from all the ghosts
Broaden his horizons
Expandin' his mind
Goin′ way down deep inside
To see what he can find
Oh yeah, he′s tryin' to turn the page
Just a poor boy lost
In the middle of the restless age

The fortune teller told me
I better watch my step
And keep a close watch
On where my secrets are kept
She told me ′bout a man
Who got robbed as he slept
So never turn your back
On Mr. Maynard G. Kreps
Oh yeah, she said crime always pays
And you end up being
Just a victim of the restless age

Get up in the morning
It's another working day
Better do exactly
What the bossman say
Workin′ so hard
Gotta pay the rent
When it's time to feed the kids
Your money′s all been spent
Oh yeah, workin' for the minimum wage
It's so hard to make a livin′
When you′re living in the restless age

It's so hard to make a livin′
Livin' in the restless age
The restless age
The restless age
The restless age
