Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got no place to go
But there's a girl waitin' for me down in Mexico
She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin
And if I bring a little music, I could fit right in
[Verse 2]
We got airplane rides
We got California drownin' out the window side
We've got big, black cars
And we got stories how we slept with all the movie stars
[Chorus]
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drink my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new
[Verse 3]
Hop on my choo-choo
I'll be your engine driver in a bunny suit
If you dress me up in pink and white
We may be just a little fuzzy 'bout it later tonight
[Verse 4]
She's my angel
She's a little better than the one that used to be with me
'Cause she liked to scream at me
Man, it's a miracle that she's not livin' up in a tree
[Chorus]
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
And fly away to someone new
[Verse 5]
Everybody's gone
They left the television screamin' that the radio's on
Someone stole my shoes, but there's a couple of bananas
And a bottle of booze
[Verse 6]
Oh, well, Happy New Year's, baby
We could probably fix it if we clean it up all day
Or we could simply pack our bags
And catch a plane to Barcelona, 'cause this city's a drag
[Chorus]
I may take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Flush my worries down the drain
And fly away to somewhere new
[Chorus]
Take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
Fly away to someone new
[Outro]
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
