The Midkiff/calhoun Disaster Vacation

लिरिक्स

[INTRO] We packed the cars, the kids were laughing, Charleston sun, we were all hoping, Midkiffs, Calhoun’s, hearts alight, A lake adventure in the bright light. [VERSE 1] We pulled out of the city, the highway wide, Four hours of drive, our spirits high inside, Reaching the port where the houseboats gleam, But all the slips were gone, it seemed. Our hearts began to break, we called around, No boat left, no spot, no safe ground, Then a line on Smith Mountain's call, “Your boat’s ready, just answer the ball.” [CHORUS] It was a family disaster vacation, We’d planned it all, but fate’s frustration, The lake was a promise that turned to sand, But we kept moving, hand in hand. [VERSE 2] We found a houseboat in a distant town, We left the port, we were wearing a frown, Took a night on the waves, the stars above, A week of dreams that were turned to love. Sailed across the water, the sun’s glow, Reaching the mountain, where the waters flow, We swam, we fished, we slept on foam, Not knowing the lake had lowered in a dome. [CHORUS] It was a family disaster vacation, We’d planned it all, but fate’s frustration, The lake was a promise that turned to sand, But we kept moving, hand in hand. [BRIDGE] Morning light, we were ready to leave, But the boat was stuck on the beach, a silent reprieve, Hours of pushing, the sand clung tight, We fought the tide, we fought the night. We set our sights on a golf course far, No tee times, no green, just a lonely scar, A curb, a flatten, a story to write, Our vacation’s chaos, a bittersweet bite. [CHORUS] It was a family disaster vacation, We’d planned it all, but fate’s frustration, The lake was a promise that turned to sand, But we kept moving, hand in
