A Vacation, Almost, Not For Me
After careful thought
Alot of consideration
I've decided to dedicate
My one and only vacation
First stop is helping Roger
For he is in despair
He lost his only son in Iraq
But his belongings are everywhere
Then I'm off to Redding
A lady there had the heart of my best friend
I need to give her something of his
Reminding her there a new beginning to every end
Trinity Falls has beauty
I've never seen before
I'll stop here for a day
To keep my butt from getting sore
From there I travel the coast
Shelter Cove is where I'll land
Hand delivering a job
To a client in basking on the ocean sand
Down to Vegas
My son I need to see
He calls just to say I Love You
Can you bring some boxes to me
Somewhere in the desert
I will set old items on fire
Forever discarding the memories I've kept
For the man my heart desires
Then, helping my parents
We've got water to move
Our orchard is growing
And more building permits to approve
I'll see ya all in a while
I better get my butt in gear
I'll write as I travel
For loniless is my only fear
