Your Mind Is On Vacation
Mose Allison
I see you talking right in my face
Someday, somebody's gonna
Put you in your place
If silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
You show me numbers, you're droppin' names
You tell me stories, you're playing games
If talk was against the law
You'd lead a life of crime
'Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
They say that life is short
And talk is cheap
Don't be making promises that you can't keep
If you're gonna keep on talking
Just try to make it rhyme
Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
Say your mind is on vacation
Your mind is on vacation
Your mind is on vacation and your mouth is workin' overtime
