Funny, I never listened to the lyrics ....

Tomorrow, we head out on a much needed vacation. We are headed west on an adventure staying at a funky little by-way place that will either be fabulous or a "great story".....

My intention on this blog was simply to post the lyrics from the Go-Gos (who have been my heros since the 80s) song Vacation. Then I read them .... Guess I didn't ever do that before. I just sang along. Funny, I guess that is how we get in trouble on lots of things. We think we know what something means, we think we know what someone is saying, and we just sing along. (And, in my case and with the Go-Gos ..... it's usually loud and always off tune).

Here are the lyrics I found....
VacationGo Gos(Kathy Valentine/Charlotte Caffey/Jane Wiedlin)Can't seem to get my mind off of youBack here at home there's nothin' to doNow that I'm awayI wish I'd stayedTomorrow's a day of mine that you won't be inWhen you looked at me I should've runBut I thought it was just for funI see I was wrongAnd I'm not so strongI should've known all along that time would tellA week without youThought I'd forgetTwo weeks without you and IStill haven't gotten over you yet CHORUS Vacation All I ever wanted VacationHad to get awayVacationMeant to be spent aloneA week without youThought I'd forgetTwo weeks without you and IStill haven't gotten over you yet

All these years, I think I just understood what the Chorus said. I didn't read the rest. Lesson: Understand the whole story before you shout it from the rooftops. With all of that, the chorus holds true. Will attempt to post from The Haylapa House .... And, obviously, you will find out if it ends up being a great vacation or a great story :).
