I Need A Holiday
Heading down
The lost highway
Got my motor running
Needa slip away
Tryna lose these blues
Think I'm overdue
I need a holiday
Sun goes up
Sun goes down
Starin' through the windshield
There goes another town
It doesn't really matter
Put it all together
All a holiday
From the same ol', same ol' grind
It's about to drive me halfway, out of my mind
Same ol' places
Find the same ol' faces
I need a holiday
Headin' down
Lost highway
Got my motor running
Needa step away
Don't know where I'm going
Like the wind I'm blowing
I need a holiday
Headin' down
The lost highway
Headin' down
The long highway
Headin' down
It's time to take a little break now
I need a holiday
Maybe a little time on the beach
Or maybe I'll go to the mountains
Or I got to be somewhere
A man can take it easy for a day or two
I need a holiday
What I really need is a holiday with you
Oh, I need a holiday
I really, really need me a holiday
A good long holiday
The lost highway
Got my motor running
Needa slip away
Tryna lose these blues
Think I'm overdue
I need a holiday
Sun goes up
Sun goes down
Starin' through the windshield
There goes another town
It doesn't really matter
Put it all together
All a holiday
From the same ol', same ol' grind
It's about to drive me halfway, out of my mind
Same ol' places
Find the same ol' faces
I need a holiday
Headin' down
Lost highway
Got my motor running
Needa step away
Don't know where I'm going
Like the wind I'm blowing
I need a holiday
Headin' down
The lost highway
Headin' down
The long highway
Headin' down
It's time to take a little break now
I need a holiday
Maybe a little time on the beach
Or maybe I'll go to the mountains
Or I got to be somewhere
A man can take it easy for a day or two
I need a holiday
What I really need is a holiday with you
Oh, I need a holiday
I really, really need me a holiday
A good long holiday
