I just penned this, in response to Allan C.'s post above. I wanted to use "it was better than that" as the refrain, but it just didn't happen this time. There is a melody, but I won't be able to communicate it until I write it down; since Tim hasn't seen it yet, there's no chords.

Enjoy!

We planned with excitement,
Packed up with delight
We locked up the house
Before it was light

And we're gettin' away to the Getaway
Warm days, good music, fine friends
Yes, we're gettin' away to the Getaway
So much fun we don't want it to end.

We drove from New England
Flew from the West Coast
Came up from Florida
To stay with our hosts

And we're gettin' away to the Getaway
Warm days, good music, fine friends
Yes, we're gettin' away to the Getaway
So much fun we don't want it to end.

We met up with old friends
Met some who were new
Sang songs and played tunes
Til the weekend was through.

And we're gettin' away to the Getaway
Warm days, good music, fine friends
Yes, we're gettin' away to the Getaway
So much fun we don't want it to end.

And we got away to the Getaway
Warm days, good music, fine friends
Yes, we got away to the Getaway
And can't wait to go back again.
