Vacation In Chicago

I kiss the kids at noon
Then stumble out the room
I caught a cab
Ran up a tab on 7th and Flower
Best recital I had to run
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat
He gets all that anger from me

Still thing could be much worse
Natural disaters 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 aslong as I lived
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 cheque to tax deductable charity organisations
Two weeks paid vaction won't heal the damage done
I need another one

Still things could be much worse
Natural disaters 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 lived
But even then, it sounds so soothing to mix a gin
And sink into oblivion

I promised to my wife and children
That accident left everyone a little sup
But at the meetings I felt so empty
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time
