No Vacation From the Blues

I took some time down by the ocean

Just to try and shake the notion

That my world could not continue without you

So I took a long vacation

Traveled all around the nation

Trying hard to rearrange my point of view

I went from Birmingham all the way to Boulder

But when I looked over my shoulder

All I could see was your sweet face shining though

And no matter how hard I try

To fight off the urge to cry

It seems there ain't no vacation from the blues

And I can run but I can't hide

From the pain I feel inside

And there's no one but myself left to accuse

So with all these bridges burned

There's no pages left to turn

And there ain't no vacation from the blues

Baby, don't misunderstand me

I'm not playing any games

I'm trying to find a rainbow

But I can't find it for the rain

So with all these bridges burned

There's no pages left to turn

And there ain't no vacation

Said there ain't no vacation

Said there ain't no vacation

From the blues
