Subject: Lyr Add: Chuck Brodsky 'Restless Kid'
I found lyrics and order info for the CD but no sound file at all. It's on the album "Last of the Old Time", click on Chuck's Music and here are the lyrics:

RESTLESS KID
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

Song is on the album, Last of the Old Time
