One Way Trip

Dead cat laying on the side of the road
Trucker speedin’ crazy with an unsafe load
Sometime feel like I’m gonna explode
Oh, I need a vacation

Pain about drivin’ me outta my brain
One a these days might go insane
Pissin’ and moanin’ doin’ nothin’ but complain
Oh, I need a vacation

Racing popsicle sticks down the gutter yesterday
Yesterday now’s forty something years away
Don’t give a shit what other people say
Oh, I need a vacation

Politicians sayin’ they about to fix all
If they’s one thing they got, they got a lot of gall
I’d like to staple gun a Senator to a dart board wall
Oh, I need a vacation

How come when yer young ya got everything ya need
Flowers burstin' forth from a little bitty seed
By the time yer in your fifties yer just happy that ya peed
Oh, I need a vacation

When we was all kids had fun a-building forts
Got a little older and loved to take a couple snorts
Now I’m just waitin’ for my colonoscopy report
Oh, I need a vacation

Got a great little wife and kids I love a lot
And I know I should be grateful for the things that I got
Just can’t help feelin’ that I’m wallowin' in snot
Oh, I need a vacation

Self-pity and regret ain’t my idea of friends
They don’t ever let up even when ya try to make amends
If I went scuba diving I’d surely bubble up with bends
Oh, I need a vacation

Lookin’ down the tunnel and it looks mighty dark
And a one of these days I’ll decide to embark
The way things are goin’ I won’t find a place to park
Thinking about…a vacation
