Two Weeks In Paradise (Original Version)

Verse 1

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

Every morning felt like another fire to face

I finally said, "Enough, I need to get away"

Put in for two weeks, and it was approved, my getaway

Got tired of all the drama, tired of watching that clock

Tired of watching every minute

Watching every second tick and talk

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

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

Chorus

I'm two weeks in paradise, leaving all my trouble behind

Got a margarita in my hand and sunshine on my mind

No deadlines, no meetings, no telephone ringing

Just the sound of the ocean and the palm trees swinging

Yeah, finally found a place where everything feels right

I'm two weeks in paradise, living easy tonight

Verse 2

Landed at the airport with the salt air on my face

Checked into my room and put my work clothes away

Changed into my shorts and an old T-shirt

Walked outside barefoot, letting that warm sand do the work

Stepped out on the island and I felt that weight disappear

Like somebody turned the volume down on all the noise I hear

Found myself a lawn chair underneath the afternoon sun

Margarita in my hand, and I knew my vacation had begun

Chorus

I'm two weeks in paradise, leaving all my trouble behind

Got a margarita in my hand and sunshine on my mind

No deadlines, no meetings, no telephone ringing

Just the sound of the ocean and the palm trees swinging

Yeah, finally found a place where everything feels right

I'm two weeks in paradise, living easy tonight

Bridge

Let the waves roll in, let the worries roll out

Ain't got a single thing I need to figure out

Tomorrow can wait, and the boss can call

I'm somewhere beyond the reach of it all

Verse 3

There's a little beach bar playing music down the way

Might wander over there when the sun starts to fade

Maybe meet some strangers, maybe make a few friends

Maybe order one more drink and do it all again

The sunset's painting gold across the water tonight

And for once in my life, everything feels right

I came here looking for a little peace of mind

Turns out paradise was waiting on the other side of that airline sign

Final Chorus

I'm two weeks in paradise, leaving all my trouble behind

Got a margarita in my hand and sunshine on my mind

No deadlines, no meetings, no telephone ringing

Just the sound of the ocean and the palm trees swinging

Yeah, finally found a place where everything feels right

I'm two weeks in paradise, living easy tonight

Outro

So, let the boss man wonder where I disappeared to

I've got two weeks of blue skies and nothing left to prove

When Monday comes around, well, I guess I'll face the fight

But tonight I'm two weeks in paradise......

And everything's alright
