Clark Griswold

I've always tried to do the right thing in my life
 Take care of my house, my picket fence, my children and my wife
 On my way home, on my way home
 I'm on my way home, Clark Griswold here I go
 You could walk a mile in my shoes but could not
 Mope around for a day in my socks
 Waking up, coughing up a whole range of crap
 Coffee mug, world's greatest dad
 Living life in a bathrobe, or some cargos
 On borrowed time, worry lines like a barcode
 Wearing my Chicago Bears cap feeling like Clark
 My family filling my heart
 I try to do right, I try to do good
 I try to do the best I can
 Man, all of my life, I've done all I could
 To try and be a better man, but I've realised
 Hey, I gotta be clever now
 Hey, I gotta go get it now
 And take a look at the way that I'm living
 Mistakes are better never made than forgiven, right?

 I've always tried to do the right thing in my life
 Take care of my house, my picket fence, my children and my wife
 On my way home, on my way home
 I'm on my way home, Clark Griswold here I go
 Yeah, they say a real man's a family man
 Pays the bills, has a travel plan or caravan
 The way it feels like everywhere that I am
 Trouble follows 'til I unravel and crash the van
 Always managing in damage control
 Count my blessing like casualties and add up the toll
 When matters resolve, I plan on getting back to my goals
 But this life will get away, so grab on and hold
 When I'm away, this world leads me astray
 Everything starts breaking apart
 So I'm spending my days trying to carve out a place
 To fill that empty space in my heart
 To say that I'm a beautiful mess? I'd say the truth is a stretch
 I confess I'm only human but I'm doing my best
 Uncertain if all the hurting is worth it
 Yeah, I know I couldn't be further from perfect

 Life can be so beautiful
 But sometimes I feel I make a mess of things
 Life can be so beautiful
 But sometimes I fear I make a mess of everything
 Life can be so beautiful

 Life can be so beautiful
 But sometimes I fear I make a mess of everything
