about

Written during FAWM 2023. An ode to the perennial necessity of vacations and escape from corporate 9-5 world. It eats yer brain, man!

lyrics

Cooped up, wiggin’ out
‘Bout to go out of my head
Take care of this, get after that
The things I do to make my bread

The road is callin’, and I’m a-itchin’
To get right up on out of here
I need to run, and have some fun
I know I know which way to steer

You hit the point where you think you’re just about done
Nothin’ left to do but up and run

I’m hittin’ the road right now
Find the joy I’m lookin’ for
Don’t you throw up no obstacles
I’m makin’ my beeline for the door

Daily grind until quittin’ time
Gives a temporary reprieve
Head home to clear my head
But it’s not enough to fully relieve

The humdrum of the day to day
Makes cobwebs inside of my skull
Corporate rigmarole leaves ya drained
Can turn ya to a hollow hull

You hit the point where you think you’re just about done
Nothin’ left to do but up and run

I’m hittin’ the road right now
Find the joy I’m lookin’ for
Don’t you throw up no obstacles
I’m makin’ my beeline for the door

There is but one cure for this frustration
Gotta have a really long vacation!

<solo>

Making plans, I gotta split
Freedom’s close enough to taste
It’s never a mistake, to recreate
Don’t let your life go to waste

Late night, it’s alright
I think I’ll have a glass of wine
Before I fill out those online forms
I hope the boss OK’s my vacation time

You hit the point where you think you’re just about done
Nothin’ left to do but up and run

I’m hittin’ the road right now
Find the joy I’m lookin’ for
Don’t you throw up no obstacles
I’m makin’ my beeline for the door
