A kick in the rear for people (including myself) who might find themselves spending too much time in the doldrums. As an aside, it's a little lesson on the proper use of lose and loose (I'm a stickler for grammar). The guitar picking solo is inspired by Doc Watson and yes, it took me more than one take.

Lyrics

Get A Little Loose

Don’t you get tired of wearin’ that frown?
Every little thing bringing you down.
Big black cloud, poor poor me.
Relax, take a breath, set yourself free.

Once in a while gotta kick up your heels, let it all go just to see how it feels.
Leave all your worries and your woes behind.
Get a little loose before you lose your mind.

You can’t walk around with a great big grin every hour of the day,
they’ll lock you away.
May be a day okay to complain,
but negativity will rot your brain.

Once in a while gotta kick up your heels, let it all go just to see how it feels.
Wound so tight, might never unwind .
Get a little loose before you lose your mind.

How’d we get so serious? Why are we so hard to please?
We may find the joke’s on us, clogging up our arteries.
Just one time to go around, only one big race to run.
Gold is nice, but cold as ice, if you’re not having any fun.

People aren’t always gonna do you right, but that doesn’t need to keep you up all night.
Life doesn’t come with a charm or a curse.
It could be better, it could be worse.

How’d we get so serious? Buildin’ up our hill of beans.
We may find the joke’s on us, ain’t no crowns for drama queens.
Just one time to go around, only one big race to run.
Gold is nice, but cold as ice, if you’re not having any fun.

Once in a while gotta kick up your heels, let it all go just to see how it feels.
Lift that lid, see what you find.
Get a little loose or you just might lose your mind.

Once in a while gotta kick up your heels, let it all go just to see how it feels.
Leave all your worries and your woes behind.
You gotta get loose, gotta get loose, get a little loose, before you lose your mind.
