Fresh off the Greyhound, New Orleans
Making my way to see the river boat queen
Hoping the waves of the Mississippi release me
Ice cold Dixie in a paper bag
Everybody wants something they ain't had
I'm just looking for a life that's free and easy

To get a little bit tangled
To get a little bit jangled
To get a little bit high and unwind

I got a little drunk, made a couple of friends
Got stoned with a man in the back of his van
Patch on his jacket said Hurricane Sam
He's said there's a little magic here in all of us
But if you want to see it kid, you've gotta look up
So I let it sink in and we took another puff

We got a little bit tangled
A little bit jangled
A little bit high, yeah, babe
I'm tired of walking on a tight rope
I want to just let it all go
I want to unwind, unwind, yeah, babe

You can spend your whole life just spinning your wheels
But it ain't going to happen just by clicking your heels
And there ain't no use in future tripping
So slow yourself down, let your worries rest
Soak in every minute, every day you get
Before you breathe out, you gotta breathe in
Yeah, before we breathe out, we gotta breathe in

Get a little bit tangled
A little bit jangled
A little bit high
I'm tired of walking on a tight rope
I want to just let it all go
I want to unwind, unwind

A little bit tangled
A little bit jangled
A little bit high
I'm tired of walking on a tight rope
I want to just let it all go
I want to unwind, unwind
Unwind, unwind
