I took some time down by the oceannJust to try and shake the notionnThat my world could not continue without younSo I took a long vacationnTraveled all around the nationnTrying hard to rearrange my point of viewnI went from Birmingham all the way to BouldernAnd when I looked over my shouldernAll I could see was your sweet face shining thoughnAnd no matter how hard I trynTo fight off the urge to crynIt seems there ain't no vacation from the bluesnAnd I can run but I can't hidenFrom the pain I feel insidenAnd there's no one but myself left to accusenSo with all these bridges burnednThere's no pages left to turnnAnd there ain't no vacation from the bluesnBaby, don't misunderstand menI'm not playing any gamesnI'm trying to find a rainbownBut I can't find it for the rainnSo with all these bridges burnednThere's no pages left to turnnAnd there ain't no vacationnSaid there ain't no vacationnSaid there ain't no vacationnFrom the blues
