Lyrics
0:48Came up on a worried man
0:50Asked him if he had a light
0:53He reached on down dug in his shoe
0:56Figured in his sock he might
0:59He asked if he could come and join
1:02At what we was partakin' in
1:05I says ol' soul if you got a match
1:08You also got yourself a friend
1:35The smoke drew hard but laid in good
1:38The neon gave us extra shine
1:41We passed around a flask of Knockando
1:44And a half litre bottle of wine
1:47The worried man dropped down to his knees
1:50And let out with a somber groan
1:53He looked up to me and when I asked he said
1:56I'm just restin' my bones
2:47I looked down at him and him up at me
2:50Then a smile rose above his chin
2:53He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down
2:56Said listen to me now my friend
2:59When I was your age I did it all
3:03More than many men could do
3:05Now my possessions are the ones I wear on my back
3:08And this lighter I keep in my shoe
3:22That's why I'm restin' my bones
3:29I'm restin' my bones
3:36I'm restin' my bones for the times I fell
3:39Fell and hit myself on the ground
3:42Restin' my bones for the loneliness
3:45Of being the only genius around
3:48I'm restin' my bones for prosperity
3:51In hopes that it'll do me some good
3:54I'm restin' my bones from amphetamines
3:56See they turned teeth to balsa wood
4:00I'm restin' my bones for johnny cash
4:03'Cause for me and mine he's wearin' black
4:06I'll be restin' my bones for Elvis
4:09I seen him last week at the track
4:12If I'm restin' my bones and you come along
4:15Just try and tippy toe on by
4:18Cause when I'm restin' my bones I hope to sleep
4:21And maybe slip away and die
Came up on a worried man Asked him if he had a light He reached on down dug in his shoe Figured in his sock he might He asked if he could come and join At what we was partakin' in I says ol' soul if you got a match You also got yourself a friend The smoke drew hard but laid in good The neon gave us extra shine We passed around a flask of Knockando And a half litre bottle of wine The worried man dropped down to his knees And let out with a somber groan He looked up to me and when I asked he said I'm just restin' my bones I looked down at him and him up at me Then a smile rose above his chin He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down Said listen to me now my friend When I was your age I did it all More than many men could do Now my possessions are the ones I wear on my back And this lighter I keep in my shoe That's why I'm restin' my bones I'm restin' my bones I'm restin' my bones for the times I fell Fell and hit myself on the ground Restin' my bones for the loneliness Of being the only genius around I'm restin' my bones for prosperity In hopes that it'll do me some good I'm restin' my bones from amphetamines See they turned teeth to balsa wood I'm restin' my bones for johnny cash 'Cause for me and mine he's wearin' black I'll be restin' my bones for Elvis I seen him last week at the track If I'm restin' my bones and you come along Just try and tippy toe on by Cause when I'm restin' my bones I hope to sleep And maybe slip away and die
