Country music star Tim McGraw and special musical guest Eric Paslay put their own spin on country icon George Strait’s “Unwound” as a part of the entertaining Backstage at Soul2Soul series on YouTube. Enjoy it below!
George Strait released “Unwound” in April 1981 as his major label debut single and the track served as the lead-off single from his debut album Strait Country. Listen to the King’s original version.
“Unwound” Lyrics
Give me a bottle
Of your very best
‘Cause I got a problem
I gotta drink off my chest
Gonna spend the night
Gettin’ down
‘Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
That woman that I had had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
She kicked me out of the house and tonight I’m whisky bound
I’m gonna be the drunkest fool in town
‘Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
Well she packed my bags
And opened up the door
I got a feelin’
She don’t want me around no more
She caught me in a lie
When I was messin’ ’round
And that woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
That woman that I had had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
She kicked me out of the house and tonight I’m whisky bound
I’m gonna be the drunkest fool in town
‘Cause that woman that I had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
