about

Greeting from "Vacation!" Sung with a sly wink and a small carry-on of emotional baggage, this song asks the age-old question: "can you ever really get away from it all?"

lyrics

Went on vacation,
Never came back
I took your suitcase,
Old duffle bag

And do you even miss me?
Do you even miss me?
Everything is new here, but it’s somehow dreary
I sent you a postcard with no return address.
I haven’t heard back yet.

You were my ticket
Out of this mess
We looked so happy
How could I have left?
Well, baby I was certain
Grass would be more verdant
If I peeled the curtain and I left the country
Now I think about you as I lay on the beach
I like you just out of reach.

Went on vacation,
Never came back

But everywhere I visit
Some of you is in it
Isn’t it a pity that you’re stuck home waiting
for something to be different
Well, darling you can’t change me
Just the scenery
