Knee Deep

We've been on vacation for 11 days.
I checked email twice.
I turned on my cell phone once.
We ate out almost every day...and I cleaned up after meals just twice. Twice. (!!!!)

We drove 1800 miles.
Stayed in two hotel rooms.
And went swimming 6 times.

Throw Ups: 0
Colds, Fevers, Ague, Plague, Massive Infection, or Otherwise Disastrous Health Episodes: 0
Major meltdowns and/or blowups, adults or children oriented: 0
Laughs out loud: 10, 000

There were friends we missed; events we RSVP'd "nay".
Facebook, Gmail, Voicemail, and the post all carried on without us.

But, for 11 days with family and friends, we ran away from the real world.
Lived knee deep in the waters of one kind of Never Never Land.

It was my own kind of paradise.

"Knee Deep" 
Zac Brown Band

Gonna put the the world away for a minute
Pretend I don't live in it
Sunshine gonna wash my blues away

Had sweet love but I lost it
She got too close so I fought her
Now I'm lost in the world trying to find me a better way

Wishing I was knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze and it don't seem fair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Wrote a note said be back in a minute
Bought a boat and I sailed off in it
Don't think anybody gonna miss me anyway

Mind on a permanent vacation
The ocean is my only medication
Wishing my condition ain't ever gonna go away

Cause now im knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair

Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

This champagne shore washing over me
It's a sweet sweet life living by the salty sea
One day you could be as lost as me
Change you're geography
Maybe you might be

Knee deep in the water somewhere
Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair
Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair
Sunrise there's a fire in the sky
Never been so happy
Never felt so high
And I think I might have found me my own kind of paradise

Come on in the water it's nice
Find yourself a little slice
Grab a backpack of lies
You never know until you try
When you lose yourself
You find the key to paradise
