I Need A Vaction From My Life
Rebecca Lynn Howard
**Capo 1**
[Intro]
D   then G-D (3 times)
I wDork all day in a break neck run
Just to come home to another pile of work to be doGne
                                             D   G-D (2 times)
And all I wanna do is flop on the couch and die
DBaby comes in he's give out too
I say it's pizza or nothing, and Trixie's all out of dog fGood
I could just break right down and cAry
[Chorus]
DI need a vacGation from my lAife
Me and my hGusband we need a wDife
                                G        AAsus-A
Somebody who's soul ambition is laundry
DI wanna fall aslGeep on the patio sAwing
While somebody eGlse does the dishes and clDeans
Mariachis could sGtroll through the yard and play sAoftly
GWouldn't even have to leave 2523 General George Patton DrAive
G          A               D         G-D (2 times)
I need a vacation from my life
Don't Deven get me started on Saturdays
All I do is rearrange the cGlutter
                            D   G-D(x2)
Yeah I invented shabby chic
DWho wants to mow when it's so dang hot
Me and baby got a theory about our little half acre Glot
If it blooms it's not a wAeed
[Chorus]
DI need a vacGation from my lAife
Me and my hGusband we need a wDife
                                G        AAsus-A
Somebody who's soul ambition is laundry
DI wanna fall aslGeep on the patio sAwing
While somebody eGlse does the dishes and clDeans

[Intro]

D then G-D (3 times)

I work all day in a break neck run

Just to come home to another pile of work to be done

D G-D (2 times)

Baby comes in he's give out too

I say it's pizza or nothing, and Trixie's all out of dog food

I could just break right down and cry

[Chorus]

D G A

I need a vacation from my life

G D

Me and my husband we need a wife

G A

Asus-A

Somebody who's soul ambition is laundry

D G A

I wanna fall asleep on the patio swing

G D

While somebody else does the dishes and cleans

G A

Mariachis could stroll through the yard and play softly

G A

Wouldn't even have to leave 2523 General George Patton Drive

G A D G-D (2 times)

I need a vacation from my life

Don't even get me started on Saturdays

All I do is rearrange the clutter

Me and baby got a theory about our little half acre lot

If it blooms it's not a weed
