I keep my feet restless As I do my day to day I'm always on the go Moving at a steady pace Cause if I ever stop I'll have to answer to my mind So I just keep-a-moving To leave it all behind My parents are gone They died in my younger age My mama took her life And daddy died on Christmas day So you can imagine why The silence is deafening And why I keep-a-moving These ever restless feet I keep-a-moving I never settle down I'll get out of the country And move from town to town If I'll ever stop Only God can know If He cares about me In this world I roam I'll strip down in the snow For this year's Christmas card And show all my friends and folks To remind them of my scars And raise a glass For this past year's fun And pour myself another For the upcoming one I keep-a-moving I never settle down I'll get out of the country If our governor is a clown If I'll ever stop Only God can know If He cares about where These restless feet go I don't want to stop Don't want to settle down I don't want to face the facts That ring my neck around I'll keep moving till I reach The end of my road Till they spread my ashes Over Shenandoah Till these restless feet Can move no more
