We Used to Vacation

歌詞

I kissed the kids at noon Then stumbled out of the room I caught a cab, ran up a tab on 7th & Flower Beth's recital I had to run Missed my son's graduation Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat He gets all that anger from me Still, things could be much worse Natural disasters on the evening news Still, things could be much worse We've still got our health My paycheck in the mail I promised to my wife and children I'd never touch another drink as long as I live But even then it sounds so soothing This will blow over in time This will all blow over in time I'm just an honest man Provide for me and mine I give a check to tax deductible charity organizations Two weeks paid vacation won't heal the damage done I need another one Still, things could be much worse Natural disasters on the evening news Still, things could be much worse We've still got our health My paycheck in the mail I promised to my wife and children I'd never touch another drink as long as I live But even then it sounds so soothing To mix a gin and sink into oblivion I promised to my wife and children That accident left everyone a little shook up But at the meetings I felt so empty This will blow over in time This will all blow over in time
