Florida Chaos Drive

We’re going on vacation

Preparation is stagnation

We are forgetting everything

Getting ready is a big thing

Mom’s still packing bags at dawn

Dad just yawned and put the wrong shoes on

The dog’s confused, the kids are wild

This whole house is a circus child

Suitcases open, socks on the floor

Can’t find the charger, search some more

We’re chasing time, but we’re behind

Still, Florida’s got us in a sunshine mind

Florida vacation is our yearly inspiration

But driving straight ten hours

Is not the thing of ours

Snacks and songs and bathroom stops

Every hour, the chaos pops

But we laugh and we survive

On this Florida chaos drive

Forgot the sunscreen, left the map

GPS froze, the tire went flat

The playlist’s stuck on disco funk

Someone’s juice just spilled in the trunk

Kids ask “Are we there yet?” ten times

We’re losing count of state line signs

But it’s all part of the ride

With palm trees waiting on the other side

Florida vacation is our yearly inspiration

But driving straight ten hours

Is not the thing of ours

Snacks and songs and bathroom stops

Every hour, the chaos pops

But we laugh and we survive

On this Florida chaos drive

Somewhere between the rest stop fries

And midnight games of I Spy

We find the joy in messy scenes

Of road-trip dreams and gasoline

Florida vacation is our yearly inspiration

But driving straight ten hours

Is not the thing of ours

Snacks and songs and bathroom stops

Every hour, the chaos pops

Still we laugh and we arrive

On this Florida chaos drive

We made it there, not sure how

But we’d do it all again somehow

Florida chaos, memories alive

On this wild and wondrous drive
