Paid Vacation

Born and raised in the windy city 
I moved west to kickstart a dream 
What I found was a town without pity 
That'll chew you up and swallow you clean 


I'm amazed at the life I'm livin' 
Don't want to seem like I'm rockin' the boat 
But it ain't all about taking but giving 
I feel something tuggin' at my coat 
No one ever told me it would be like this 
That there'd be something called home that's too hard to miss 


I'm saying goodbye to the glamour 
Back to the old neighborhood 
All that I need is a place I can breathe 
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood 


Done my time in the hoodoo jungle 
Tired of waking up in another man's dream 
I got the ball ans I ain't gonna fumble 
Gonna make a winner of this team 
All that ever mattered were the goals I chased 
Now I'm ready to run in the human race 


I'm saying goodbye to the glamour 
Life never tasted so good 
All that I need is a place I can breathe 
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood 


Me and the Mrs. done made up our minds 
We're gonna give our boys a little less sunshine 
Call it runnin' say what you like 
I've got my own definition of paradise 
I'd rather be knee deep in snow than knee deep in jive 
I may be cold but my soul is alive 


I'm saying goodbye to the glamour 
Back to the old neigborhood 
All that I need is a place I can breathe 
I'm saying goodbye to Hollywood
