Untangle Your Mind - John Hartford

You’re stretchin' and a strainin' and a bendin' too hard

Till all of the chickens have run from your yard

Alone in the doorway a gun in your hand

And you’d better untangle your mind

You try not to listen to the children upstairs

Who laugh at you nervously sittin' down there

The shiny blue medal lies cold in your lap

And you’d better untangle your mind

You worry the morning you worry the night

You worry for something that’s not yet in sight

Your worry is rotten your head is on fire

And you’d better untangle your mind

Your engine is whinin' you’re sunk in the mud

Your wheel’s only spinnin' you can’t see the hub

Your face hangin' back you have coverd your eyes

And you’d bettr untangle your mind

Relax or you’ll snap like a string in the strain

Without your umbrella go out in the rain

Just look in the treetops let it come down

And try and untangle your mind

Don’t think of tomorrow or even next hour

Taste only the sweet things forget all the sour

It’s getting too heavy to sit in this chair

Without you untangle your mind
