We Used to Vacation
by
Cold War Kids


I kissed the kids at noon 

then stumbled out the room 

I caught a cab ran up a tab

on 7th and flower 


best recital I had to ruin 

missed my son's graduation 

punched the Nickles boy for taking his seat 

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 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 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 drink 
                         
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

P.S. listen to the song to get the tempo and everything, but here you go...enjoy!!
