Verse 1
G 
And I want y 'all to hear
Bb 
this defense blues,
C 
G 
I mean the relax your mind blues.
C 
Relax your mind, that means,
when you relax,
a lot of people don't ever relax,
cause I used to didn't relax myself.
That's the reason my leg,
you know, got like it is,
working it too much.
One time you got to relax your mind,
then you'll always feel fine.
sometimes you go too fast.
You're overgoing your mind in a way,
your mind is running you something,
you got to relax once in a while.
So it's just to relax,
what you call relax your mind, lose.
Bb 
C 
Bb 
I   I'm, I do it, I made this song
C 
just on the kind of people driving cars.
Bb 
C 
You can't drive a car
Bb 
and look all across the road.
C 
You got to look down the road
where you're going,
Bb 
be  cause that's cause so much trouble
C 
now.
Bb 
So many people lost, that's true.
C 
Not relaxing.
Bb 
And then you see the people,
C 
people ain't looking where
Bb 
they're going,  see?
C 
Yeah, not where they're going.
Bb 
I drove all through this country,
D 
it's a long night for myself,
and I never even run over
C 
a chicken.
Never run over nothing.
Bb 
Of I'm gonna look down the way I'm
going.
You can talk to me all you wanna,
C 
but I ain't gonna turn my head and look at you,
you sitting up there.
You can talk,
but I'm gonna look right down the way I'm
going, that's true.
And if you don't do it,
Bb 
something's going to happen
C 
be cause that's electricity.
Bb 
And you can't work with electricity
because when you look off
and you're going wrong,
C 
when you look around,
you don't got excited,
Bb 
you can't even stop.
C 
And that's what caused the
trouble, see?
Bb 
And I just made a blues,
relax your mind,
and it'll make you live a
C 
long time.
Now you just listen to this relax
Bb 
your mind blues,
C 
G

just words put together.
