Gone on vacation down to Big
Bar Lake
Just wanted a rest, needed a break
My stupid job's got me bored to tears
and it feels like forever 'cause it's been four years
since the last time I took a vacation it seems
I've been living on nothing but stupid old dreams
Of just kicking back, barbecuing a steak
and drinking some beers up at Big Bar Lake
Now I've finally got a week off
packed up my car with all kinds of stuff
It's Thanksgiving next weekend
So I thought it'd be great
To invite all my friends and go up to the lake
Sitting here just watching it
snow
Stranded no matter which way the wind blows
All I've got for some company
are my idle thoughts an d a few CDs
I've got a keg of beer in the back of my car
But my cigarettes won't take me that far
So I'll just sit here and play guitar
and hope my friend the sun will come back soon
So my friends didn't make it
'cause the roads were all closed
and it's still snowing so lets just suppose
That I'm stuck here all winter
Yeah that would be great
I'd have to live like a hermit up at Big Bar Lake
Sitting here just watching it
snow
Stranded no matter which way the wind blows
All I've got for some company
are my idle thoughts an d a few CDs
I've got a keg of beer in the back of my car
But my cigarettes won't take me that far
So I'll just sit here and play guitar
and hope my friend the sun will come back soon
