WIND IT ON UP
Pat McLaughlin
G D
Son, she said, be your own kind of man
Am Em
and retire with a dollar in your hand
Bm
and what she meant was
C G
wind it on up when your work is done
G D
But the dawn, it put a light in my room
Am Em
cut between a table and a spoon
Bm
and then I got my feet up
C G
kicking down a never before wall
G D
I spot a man about half of my age
Am Em
with a girl off of this morning's front page
Bm
and lord, his hands were
C G
winding it up like nothin' you ever saw
G D
Ma Cherie' you're surrounded by fools
Am Em
in that dress, you're gonna make short work of my school
Bm
and when offended
C G
wind it on up and send it on home to me
G D
Said the news in front of my face
Am Em
This is the day gonna change the whole human race
Bm
and I said lighten it up boys
C G
You're windin' it up for your own good time
G D
Make a move and get to somewhere by five
Am Em
Get control, get yourself a drink in some dive
Bm
and get your mind made up
C G
to be gettin' it on with your favorite country star
G D
Son, she said, be your own kind of man
Am Em
and retire with a little bit of money in your hand
Bm
and what she meant was
C G
wind it on up in your own sweet time
