Ray Stevens Unwind Lyrics

SPOKEN:
Get up!
Get up!
Get up!
Get up!

Up in the morning at the crack of dawn
Just a cup of coffee to go to work on
Fight the traffic and the hustle and the bustle of the mob
Gotta hurry, can't be late for my job

Gotta go at a fast pace
Gotta keep up with the rat race
Big tranquilizer gets me through the day
Work so hard for such a little pay

Just when I think I'm gonna blow my mind,
The clock strikes five and I can leave it behind,
Say goodbye to that work day grind,
Run to you, girl, and unwind, I can unwind

In your arms, baby, I can smile
Yeah, I can unwind
Your love makes it all worthwhile
A cozy room, your hand in mine
Love's sweet perfume, sweeter than wine
Ev'rything's gonna be fine
As long as you are mine
You make my little world shine
I can unwind

Seven A.M. comes too fast Roll out of the bed to that alarm clock blast
Same routine, work, sweat, tears, don't relax
Worry about my bills, snatch a letter from the bank, yeah

Gotta put up a good front
Gotta smile, be polite, and don't be blunt
Nerves on edge, wound up too tight
A headache, I didn't get enough sleep last night

Just when I think I'm gonna blow my mind,
The clock strikes five and I can leave it behind,
Say goodbye to that work day grind,
Run to you, girl, and unwind, I can unwind

In your arms baby I can smile
Yeah, I can unwind
Your love makes it all worthwhile
A cozy room, your hand in mine
Love's sweet perfume, sweeter than wine
Ev'rything's gonna be fine
As long as you are mine
You make my little world shine
I can unwind

Unwind
