My Mind Is On Vacation

(album: National Steel - 1997)

You're sitting there yacking
Right in my face
I guess I'm gonna have to put you in your place

If silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Because your mind is on vacation
And you mouth is working overtime

You're quoting figures
And dropping names
You're telling stories
About the days
You're overlaughing
When things ain't funny
You're trying to sound like the big, big money

If talk was criminal
You'd lead a life of crime
Because you mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime

Your life is short
And talk is cheap
Don't be making promises
That you can't keep
Don't like my song
Just grin and bear
All I can say is, if the shoe fits, won't you wear it
And if you must keep talking
Please try to make it a ryhme

Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime

Your mind is on vacation
Yeah, your mind is on vacation
I said your mind is on vacation
Well, your mind is on vacation

Because your mind is on vacation
And your mouth is working overtime
