Two Weeks In Paradise (New Version)

Verse 1

The boss man's been on my ass way too many days

Every morning's been another fire to face

I finally said, "Enough, I need a little break"

Put in for two weeks, and they gave me what I asked to take

Got tired of the drama, tired of watching that clock

Tired of hearing everybody talk

So, I packed my suitcase, grabbed my shades and hit the road

Two-way ticket in my hand, headed somewhere I could let it go

Pre-Chorus

I left that Monday morning, left my worries at the door

Ain't gonna think about that place for two weeks anymore

Chorus

I'm two weeks in paradise

Sunshine shining down on me

Margarita in my hand

Nothing but blue water I can see

No boss, no phones, no deadlines

No one telling me what to do

I'm two weeks in paradise

And I'm overdue for a little me-time too

Verse 2

Landed on the island, checked into my room

Changed out of my work clothes

Stepped into the afternoon

Walked outside barefoot, felt the warm sand underneath

Heard the ocean rolling in and felt that pressure leave

Found myself a lawn chair underneath a coconut tree

Put that margarita down beside me

Then I leaned back, closed my eyes

And let the whole world spin

For the first time in a long time, I could finally breathe again

Pre-Chorus

Let the emails pile up, let that old phone ring

There ain't a thing back home that's gonna change this thing

Chorus

I'm two weeks in paradise

Sunshine shining down on me

Margarita in my hand

Nothing but blue water I can see

No boss, no phones, no deadlines

No one telling me what to do

I'm two weeks in paradise

And I'm overdue for a little me-time too

Bridge

When the sun drops low and the sky turns gold

I'll be right here, letting this good life unfold

Tomorrow can wait, Monday's miles away

Tonight, I'm gonna watch these waves roll in and fade

Final Chorus

I'm two weeks in paradise

Sunshine shining down on me

Margarita in my hand

Nothing but blue water I can see

No boss, no phones, no deadlines

No one telling me what to do

I'm two weeks in paradise

And I'm overdue for a little me-time too

Yeah, two weeks in paradise......

Ain't it funny what a vacation can do?

Outro

Two-way ticket, one-way state of mind

Left my troubles somewhere back behind

Two weeks in paradise......

And for once, I'm right on time
