I've been wound up too tight, I've been running just like
A chicken with it's head cut off
I'm always on the go, I've got nothing to show
But a whole lotta nothing it's time I
Take a little time for me, yeah
I do believe

When life gets too tight, it's time to unwind it
Kick back on the front porch with a cold one in my hand
I've had my nose on that work-a-day grindstone
Gonna get my chill on tonight and
Unwind, unwind, unwind it

Lightning bugs in the air like they ain't got a care
Man, I can take some lessons from them
Think I'll call up my girl, let the lest of the world
Keep spinning while we're laid back swinging
Back and forth in the hammock, yeah
My baby knows it

When life gets too tight, it's time to unwind it
Kick back on the front porch with a cold one in my hand
I've had my nose on that work-a-day grindstone
Gonna get my chill on tonight and
Unwind, unwind, unwind it

Nobody's gonna miss me if I disappear 
For a little while I bet
So here I go shifting to a lower gear, yeah

When life gets too tight, it's time to unwind it
Kick back on the front porch with a cold one in my hand
I've had my nose on that work-a-day grindstone
Gonna get my chill on tonight and
Unwind, unwind, unwind it

Unwind, unwind, unwind it
Yeah, unwind it
Whoa, unwind it
