Vacation in My Mind

I’m stressed out, broke down, done in and worn out
I’m fed up from working night and day ‘til I burn out
I’ve got to get away from the 9-to-5, and let’s not forget the 90-minute drive
Can’t wait till I clock out with a book in my hand on my lunch break

I need a vacation… ‘cuz free time is hard to find
Without windowless walls or concrete malls I need vacation in my mind

I got a white collar, pin-striped permanent press career at my pre-fab desk in a cubicle of fear
Barely hanging on to a job that’s nothing but a paycheck
The only thing that keeps me from walking out the door is the chance to be with my lady once more
Got a secret place to forget about life for the day

Just me and my baby now, we’ve got to get away
Escape to the mountains where eagles fly
Lay down in a meadow, gazin’ up at the sky
On vacation. Together in our dreams
The freshness of the air on the bank of a stream
On vacation you and me

(I need vacation now)
(I need vacation now)
I‘ve got to make a choice, break away from all the noise
Wrapped in your embrace
Together walking hand in hand, the sun is setting on the sand
In our quiet place

I need a vacation… a little salvation time instead
To close my eyes; imagine somewhere else on vacation in my head
We need a vacation… good times without delay
Pack up the car, it’s time to recharge. Destination come what may
