Didn't want to write this song … I figured there were one-thousand songwriters (here in north Texas alone) that were stuck at home and writing goofy songs about the virus. But, it wouldn't leave me alone, so I recorded it to get it out of my head.

its been a while.....Thanks for listening
I want to be free
Some people want to laugh
While others just want to cry
Some people want to live it large
while others just want to hide

Holidays lasting forever
In our little town
We swam all day long
