I Need A Vaction - Rebecca Lynn Howard


**Capo 1**


Intro: D   then G-D (3 times)

  D
I work all day in a break neck run
                                                 G
Just to come home to another pile of work to be done
                                            D   G-D (2 times)
And all I wanna do is flop on the couch and die
D
Baby comes in he's give out too
                                                         G
I say it's pizza or nothing, and Trixie's all out of dog food
                                  A
I could just break right down and cry


Chorus:
D           G              A
I need a vacation from my life
          G                 D
Me and my husband we need a wife
               G                A      Asus-A
Somebody who's sole ambition is laundry
D               G                 A
I wanna fall asleep on the patio swing
               G                         D
While somebody else does the dishes and cleans
                G                                A
Mariachis could stroll through the yard and play softly
G                                                        A
Wouldn't even have to leave 2523 General George Patton Drive
G          A               D         G-D (2 times)
I need a vacation from my life

     D
Don't even get me started on Saturdays
                          G
All I do is rearrange the clutter
                         D   G-D(x2)
Yeah I invented shabby chic
D
Who wants to mow when it's so dang hot
                                                   G
Me and baby got a theory about our little half acre lot
                        A
If it blooms it's not a weed


REPEAT CHORUS (last line lyrics change to oh oh oh)

REPEAT CHORUS (last part changes to):

G
Wouldn't even have to leave this state, Tennessee
  Bm                        A
2523 General George Patton Drive
G               A               D    G-D
But I need a vacation from my life
    G              A               D    G-D (3 times)
Whoa oh I need a vacation from my life
