Cold War Kids We Used To Vacation Lyrics

We Used To Vacation Lyrics

I kissed the kids at noon

Then stumbled out the room

I caught a cab, ran up a tab

On 7th and Flower



Best recital, I had to run

Missed my son's graduation

Punched the Nickle's boy

For taking his seat

He gets all that anger from me



Still things could be much worse

Natural disasters on the evening news

Still things could be much worse

We still got our health

My paycheck in the mail



I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink

As long as I live but even then

It sounds so soothing

This will blow over in time

This will all blow over in time



I'm just an honest man

Provide for me and mine

I give a check to tax deductible

Charity organizations



Two weeks paid vacation

Won't heal the damage done

I need another one



Still things could be much worse

Natural disasters on the evening news

Still things could be much worse

We still got our health

My paycheck in the mail



I promised to my wife and children

I'd never touch another drink

As long as I live but even then

It sounds so soothing to mix a gin

And sink into oblivion



I promised to my wife and children

That accident left everyone a little shook up

But at the meetings I felt so empty

This will blow over in time

This will all blow over in time
