Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
F               A7                Dm       Bb
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood

But I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line

Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens

It was so easy living day by day
Gm7          C7              Fmaj7
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

Well, now I need a little give and take

It comes down to reality and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide
