Lyrics
I packed my bags the night before just waiting for the mornin of the trip
Then at the airport downed a couple cups of coffee burned my lip
These plastic chairs I’m forced to sit in while I wait have made me sore
I think I’ll walk around and check out all the freaks about to board
In just a minute I’ll be in the sky and on my way
Inside this tubular sensation roaring toward a sunny day
I’m on vacation
Not gonna touch a telephone, send a fax, go to work or need a chaperone
I’m on vacation
Gonna leave my problems all behind, get a room hit the beach and watch the girls go by
Now that I’m on the beach, the sun is makin bacon of my face
On my third daiquiri a takeaway, a total mind erase
It seems so strange to not have any kind of worries on my brain
The bills can wait, hold all my calls the forecast doesn’t call for rain
For just a couple days I’m gonna keep reality in check
But until then I’m gonna chill out from my zorries to my neck
Chorus instead of girls go by add (and have an empty mind)
The bubble bursts,I’m slogging thru my day gig makin toothpicks outta logs
Thought I was soaring with the seagulls, but I’m sweatin with the dogs
I hear the pounding feet approaching from behind to rag on me
I think I better cool em off and let em wear my daiquiri
Some day I’m gonna find that there is so much more to life than this
But till I find the truth, I’m hangin in vacationary bliss
Repeat Chorus twice…1st time girls go by 2nd empty mind
