Drive-By Truckers - The Unraveling lyrics

Something's gonna happen when you
Pull that string
About to take the stitching off of everything
The unraveling is happening

The pressure to be perfect made
You wind so tight worked all day
And tossed and turned at night
The unraveling is happening

You stripped your screws and
You broke your spring
The gears you grind are mighty stiff
I drive that car right off a cliff
Shift your hip as the music plods
Burned your bridges down and throw your rods
No matter how you break it down
Your friends all scatter when
The shit comes down
The unraveling is happеning
Whole world comes apart right at the sеams



You sometimes think you could be so free
If you drove a little faster into that tree
Well hide your feelings in the sound so loud
Smile so big and walk so proud

Your family's in horror cuz
You're off the rails
Tears spilled all along the bloody trail
The unraveling is happening
You lost it all, and you had everything
