Chain Link Vacation

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Been clocked in too long Counting rust on the fence My boots know the route My hands know the work Got a tank full of patience And a jaw full of grit I don't beg for a break I just wait like this Bite down, stay still Let the trouble pass by Got a grin like a cut And a cold look in my eye [Pre-Chorus] I been ready Been ready too long Sun on my neck But my mind stay gone Pack hit my shoulder Like a sentence laid down I’m halfway out Still standin’ my ground [Chorus] Waiting on vacation Waiting on vacation Tell the world I’m gone When I hit that station Waiting on vacation Waiting on vacation I’m alive enough to leave But I move like a ghost [Verse 2] Mud on the tires Dust on the chrome Every payday feel Like a step toward home I got a name on my back And a scar on my pride A bad mood smile And a knife in my stride Folks talk sweet When they want me to fold I keep my mouth shut Let the hard truth roll If peace got a price Then I already paid I’m just waiting my turn For that front porch shade [Pre-Chorus] I been ready Been ready too long Sun on my neck But my mind stay gone Pack hit my shoulder Like a sentence laid down I’m halfway out Still standin’ my ground [Chorus] Waiting on vacation Waiting on vacation Tell the world I’m gone When I hit that station Waiting on vacation Waiting on vacation I’m alive enough to leave But I move like a ghost [Bridge] Yeah… If I disappear Don’t ask where I been I’m somewhere with water And a grin on my skin Already dead To the grind and the noise Just one more day Then I’m gone, boys [Chorus] Waiting on vacation Waiting on vacation Tell the world I’m gone When I hit that station Waiting on vacation Waiting on vacation I’m alive enough to leave But I move like a ghost
