"Fam Vac" lyrics
"Fam Vac"
Oh, I need a family vacation
I mean a family vacation alone
I'm gonna pack up the car, load up the bike and the kayak
And leave the fuckin' family at home
A vacation away from the family
A vacation away from the fray
When it comes to you so called loved ones
Sometimes you got to get away
Maybe I'll go to the mountains
Or else I'll get down to the shore
Yeah, and I guess there's a chance I might miss my people
But right now I can't stand 'em no more
When I'm barbecuing there on my Weber
I might be focused on my family
Then I'll throw down some hot dogs, burgers, and some chicken
And I'll burn 'em all in effigy
Oh, oh
When I get back from my family vacation
Tanned and relaxed will be the shape that I'm in
Yeah, I'll be patient and lovin' not to mentioned detached
When I'm dealing with my kith and my kin
We all need a family vacation
You got to keep the mishpocheh at bay
Tolstoy got it right when he wrote "each and every family
Is unhappy in it's own way"
Oh, oh
I ran away from my parents
I still run away from my kids
As for brother and sister we're playing Twister
It's a cover up to keep ourselves hid from each other
I need a family vacation
My family needs a vacation from me
Because your dearest and nearest, they're the most dan'grous
There the ones that make you crazy
That's right, your nearest and dearest, they're the most dan'grous
There the ones that make you fucking crazy
Oh
Jean Paul Sartre said it: Hell is other people!

Without a hand to hold

John Prine - "Long Monday" You and me
Sittin' in the back my memory
Like a honey bee
Buzzin' 'round a glass of sweet Chablis

Headlights shining
Like silver moons
Rollin'...
