I took some time down by the ocean
Just to try and shake the notion
Girl, that my world could not continue without you

So I took a long vacation
Traveled all around the nation
Trying hard to rearrange my point of view

I went from Birmingham all the way to Boulder
But when I looked over my shoulder
All I could see was your sweet face shining though

And no matter how hard I try
To fight off the urge to cry
It seems there ain't no vacation from the blues

And I can run but I can't hide
From the pain I feel inside
And there's no one but myself left to accuse

So with all these bridges burned
There's no pages left to turn
And there ain't no vacation from the blues

Baby, don't misunderstand me
I'm not playing any games
I'm just trying to find a rainbow
But I can't find it for the rain

So with all these bridges burned
There's no pages left to turn
And there ain't no vacation
Said there ain't no vacation
Said there ain't no vacation 
From the blues
