Good Lord, I Need a Vacation!...

Good Lord, I need a vacation!
Can't keep conversations going
and old friends seem like strangers
Maybe i need the Bahamas,
a short talk with momma
might end this erratic behavior

But... you can't go back, so they say
Your childhood wasn't yesterday
and the foolish games we play
are not child's toys...

Good Lord, do i need an outing!
i missed my Boy Scouting
and maybe that's why i'm growing restless
Have i wasted my schooling
with too much tom fooling,
always looking forward to recess?

But... sometimes you just shouldn't play;
you can get burned that way
and some things are hard to throw away
once you've developed a fondness...

Perhaps i need recreation...
though it's no consolation,
a tired body's no respite
Driven way past distraction,
don't give out reactions...
a tired soul lost in traffic

But... sometimes you just have to wait
though some may say you procrastinate,
you can't always have cake on your plate
everybody grow tired...

Good Lord, do i need a cat nap!
i'm sick of the clap trap,
i'm talking myself into circles
Oh, i've developed a hunger
that won't last much longer
i want to soar with the eagles...

But... you know man will never fly,
but is that any reason to cry?
There are so many things you could try...
if you've a mind to...
