D      A/C#
Got no place to go
              Bm7                          G
But there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico
           D                    A/C#
She got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin
          Bm7                          G
And if I bring a little music I could fit right in
D       A/C#
We got airplane rides
        Bm7                         G
We got California drowning out the window side
D         A/C#
We've got big black cars
           Bm7                                G
And we got stories how we slept with all the movie
stars

Chorus:
     D        G          Bm
I may take a holiday in Spain
          A             D
Leave my wings behind me
         A/C#              Bm7
Drink my worries down the drain
          G                D
And fly away to somewhere new

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
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
living 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

Everybody's gone
They left the television screaming that
the radio's on
Someone stole my shoes
But there's a couple of bananas and a bottle
of booze

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

Take a holiday in Spain
Leave my wings behind me
Drive this little girl insane
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
Fly away to someone new
