We Used To Vacation

We  Used  To  Vacation  -  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  deductable

  charity  organizations

  two  weks  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
