Cole Austin - Restless Ways Lyrics

I was raised on my insanity and restless inhibition,
Doing things my own way just became a tradition
I was born a natural rebel, an outlaw to my core
And I'll go out wearing black on black like Cash in '64
My mother brought me to the doctor when I was just a boy
He said there isn't a single pill that can bring his heart joy
He's a product of himself, South made him tried and true
And his restless ways will bring him on a stage where he'll be singing the blues

And the night is getting colder and my heart is wearing thin
I don't know how it all started but it's coming to an end
I never followed a straight line it gave me a crooked grin
And all of these scars remind me where I've been

Well I've fought large and I've fought small
I've spent some time fighting over nothing at all
And I've fought with myself, each and every day
And through it all I still found those holy words to pray
They were Father can you forgive me, just for all I've done
I hope through all the sin you recognize me as your son
Please don't strike down the man with the switchblade in his right hand
I'll drop all my brass where I stand, start living a new plan

And the night is getting colder and my heart is wearing thin
I don't know how it all started but it's coming to an end
I never followed a straight line it gave me a crooked grin
And all of these scars remind me where I've been

And that feeling that's inside my chest is never gonna let me rest
I'll follow my heart to never miss a beat
In one hand I hold my truth, with a passion on the loose
Tied with what no none else believes, but that makes me me

And the night is getting colder and my heart is wearing thin
I don't know how it all started but it's coming to an end
I never followed a straight line it gave me a crooked grin
And all of these scars remind me where I've been

When I look into the mirror, it's always the same face
Never knowing where it's going it just drifts from place to place
Wouldn't gamble on my miles I don't know my journeys length
But with every step that leads I'll go and raise the stakes
