You're right we both could use a small vacation
It may not work but then again it might
You can go to California to see your mother
And maybe when you get back things might be right.
Don't forget your raincoat it gets stormy in the west
Don't forget your swimsuit you'll have sunshine at its 
best
Don't forget to take some pictures everyone will want to 
see
And don't forget yourself when you're that far away from 
me.
Call and let me know when you get there
And when she asks you why I'm not along
Tell your mother business wouldn't let me
Have a good time but don't forget where you belong.
Don't forget your raincoat it gets stormy in the west
Don't forget your swimsuit you'll have sunshine at its 
best
Don't forget to take some pictures everyone will want to 
see
And don't forget yourself when you're that far away from 
me.
And don't forget yourself when you're that far away from
