Permanent Vacation
Aerosmith · Permanet Vacation
I got a letter from a friend the other morning
He say it's hot down in Montego Bay
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away
I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why
Chorus:
I really need it, really really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I got to get away
I got a sister, man she really got a pinhead
She think she's kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight
Chorus
I gotta take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be comin' down in Cayman Brack
I gotta hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah I got to cut me some slack
He say it's hot down in Montego Bay
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away
I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why
Chorus:
I really need it, really really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun it never shines
I really need it, really really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I got to get away
I got a sister, man she really got a pinhead
She think she's kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight
Chorus
I gotta take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be comin' down in Cayman Brack
I gotta hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah I got to cut me some slack

Aerosmith's "Permanent Vacation" stands as a defining track from their 1989 album of the same name, capturing the band's signature blend of hard rock and blues-infused pop. The song features iconic vocals from Steven Tyler and a driving rhythm section that became a staple of their late-80s sound. Released during a period of commercial resurgence for the group, the recording showcases their ability to craft anthemic hooks while maintaining their gritty, live-driven aesthetic. It remains a cornerstone of their discography, frequently performed live and recognized for its enduring appeal within the hard rock genre.
