Taking a vacation
Don't know what I'll find
Taking a vacation in my mind
Taking a vacation
Don't know what I'm gonna find there
Stuck some clothes in a sack
I'm slipping out the back door
Sit by the range
See the splendors of the Bronze Age
I'll be wild eyed and waiting
They got me there and well placed
Where are you
Where you are I will be
I am on a vacation
Only in my mind
Vacation
Taking a vacation
Don't know what I'll find
I'm taking a vacation
I'm self-hypnotized
Blue man swings to the beat
Over there she's got a weapon
We're going to kick it in the sand
Some guys are selling visas
They're trying to sell tickets to the promised land
People going to get there
I see it in my dreams
Saw people dancing, saw people moving
In the hot summer steam
Where you are
Where you are I will be
I am on vacation
Only in my mind
I can see you from here
I am on vacation
Vacation
Taking a vacation
I don't know what I'll find
I'll be taking a vacation
Don't know what we'll find
We're going to discover America
Take a train to Mecca
We'll be lying on the beach there
The old wise fool and me
Where you are
Where you are I will be
I am on vacation only in my mind
I can see you from here
I am on vacation
Where you are I will be
I can see you from here
Taking a vacation
Don't know what I'll find
We're taking a vacation only in our minds
No traffic and noise here, well a word to the wise
There's splendors of the Bronze Age
That's about my favorite drive
