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 And 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 Break x2 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
