Lyrics
Middle Age Road Trip
Written by Bob Wyatt
11/25/2013
kick your shoes off, put your feet on the dash
just a quick stop for some coffee and gas
5 more minutes, we'll be headed up North for the weekend..
The kids that used to call us mom and dad
would rather hang out with the friends they have
that frees us up, we're headed up North for the weekend..
i'll pick you up at the end of your shift
no need to pack, took care of it
you wont need much, we're headed up North for the weekend
don't get mad, traded my truck
got a 2 SS with a tiny little trunk
Gonna take a cruise, we're headed up North for the weekend
[Chorus]
there's a bed and breakfast on mackinac
no home work fights; no trips to the mall
we can make up then we can pick another fight
we can hit the bars, stay out all night
stay in bed till the morning sun
just do nothing, just have fun
middle age road trip
raising kids is a job you love
until they really start to grow up
It don't matter, we're goin up north for the weekend
tablets smart phones, and ipads
I guess tvs are a thing of the past
there aint none of that, we're goin up North for the weekend
hurry up kids don't be late
for another teenage party play date
your mamma and me, are headed up North for the weekend
its our turn to get away
you kids don't really like us any way
We don't care we're headed up North for the weekend
Chorus
Inst
[Bridge]
I don't know but ive been told
things get better when you get old
we're gonna find out, we're headed up North for the weekend
No, we don't look like the day we met
but we ain't ready to cash in yet
Come on baby lets head up North for the weekend
Chorus
