Well, I'm stuck here in Laredo
Waiting on a load
It could take three days
Til we're ready to go

My mind's in Jersey City
The next place I gotta be
But my heart's with you baby
You're waitin' in Tennessee

Everybody's always on vacation
They leave me with a job to do
I can't complain about my situation
But I wanna have a good time, too

And, it's hard times in the land of plenty
And, better days are overdue
Sometimes I wanna get loose from the hang ups
And spend a little time with you

Well, I hollered at the dispatch
To see what was going on
She radioed the big man, hang tightand hold on

He's still out on the golf course
And I'm loaded on the dock
I've wasted my weekend just staring at the clock

Everybody's always on vacation
They leave me with a job to do
I can't complain about my situation
But I wanna have a good time, too

And, it's hard times in the land of plenty
And, better days are overdue
Sometimes I wanna get loose from the hang ups
And spend a little time with you

Well you're always so patient
And I know you understand
But I miss my woman and you miss your man

Everybody's always on vacation
They leave me with a job to do
I can't complain about my situation
But I wanna have a good time, too

And, it's hard times in the land of plenty
And, better days are overdue
Sometimes I wanna get loose from the hang ups
And spend a little time with you

I want to spend a little time with you
