Restless Kid Lyrics

Chuck Brodsky Restless Kid

I was a restless kid
I was a restless kid
I'll probably never mention
Some of the things I did
I was a restless kid

On a slingshot I was good
On a slingshot I was good
There were some people
Back in my neighborhood
Who didn't think I was so good

I wasn't nice to my sister
I wasn't nice to my sister
Of all the people I've ever done wrong
I can't forget to list her
I wasn't nice to my sister

I had a bb gun
I had a bb gun
I shot a friend of mine in the leg
From her brother I still run
I had a bb gun

I was no teacher's pet
I was no teacher's pet
Substitutes especially
Some might not have forgiven me yet
I was no teacher's pet
I knew how to destroy
I knew how to destroy
I invented some new ways
After all, I was a boy
Who knew how to destroy

I had a frisky pup
I had a frisky pup
I would do my homework
And she would chew it up
I had a frisky pup

I can still taste the soap
I can still taste the soap
Irish Spring especially
And the kind that came on a rope
I can still taste the soap

I was a restless kid
I was a restless kid
I'll probably never come clean
About some of the things I did
I was a restless kid
