Lyrics
He was born an orphan-son
By the age of 13 he was on the run
Went to work in a logging camp in the West Virginia hills
where the black-coal ran
Had a wife in 1910
she was a hard-cold woman til' the very end
made a life out of misery
all and all it's just a page in history
No more looking back, he said as he left that shot-gun shack
No more looking back, if we can't leave here
then we're better off dead
Getting restless now
in a restless town (the last deal's going down)
getting restless now
in a restless town
getting restless now
you know no one can hold him down
Momma was raised in a house on a hill
in painted-picture town that they call Bluefield
met a man from the tarheel state
they decided right then to start a family
Momma tried to raise me well
but I learnt my lessons and I threw em' to hell
When daddy left, momma cried
I swear that day something in me died
No more looking back, get your branding-iron off my back
No more looking back, if we can't leave here
then we're better of dead
You know they've seen hard-times
worried hearts and crying eyes
When everyday is a struggle to survive
to keep your dreams alive
Getting restless now
in a restless town
the last deal's going down
getting restless now
in a restless town
you know no one can him down
