yeah been a long time since i took a vacation
but i can't seem to get away no i can't seem to catch a break
yeah it's the same old same old, ain't nothing new
well it's about time i take the day off from you

i'm phoning in
i'm feeling sick
my head's spinning
it's coming on real thick

i'm playing hooky
i'm playing hooky
i'm playing hooky from you
i'm gonna run around act a fool 
and do just what i want to do
i'm not saying we're done
i'm not saying we're through
i just need another day off from you

get up around eleven
get out the house around two
meet up with the fellas
grab a drink maybe a few
shootin' dice in the alley way
yeah we're up to no good
this little taste of freedom
got me on the run for good
