Hilltop Hoods - Clark Griswold Lyrics






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

Cheah
You could walk a mile in my shoes, but could not
Mope around for a day in my socks, wakin' up
Coughin' up a whole range of crap
Coffee mug, 'World's Greatest Dad'
Livin' life in a bathrobe or some cargos
On borrowed time, worry lines like a barcode
Wearin' my Chicago Bears cap, feelin' like Clark
My family fillin' my heart, I try to do right
(Oh) Try to do good
I try to do the best I can, man, all of my life
(Oh) 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
I took a look at the way that I'm livin'
Mistakes are better never made than forgiven, right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

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, a caravan
That way it feels like everywhere that I am
Trouble follows till I unravel and crash the van
Always managin' in damage control
Count my blessings like casualties and add up the toll
And matters resolve, I plan on gettin' back to my goals
But this life a getaway, so grab on and hold
When I'm away (Oh) this world leads me astray
Everything starts breakin' apart, so I'm spendin' my days
(Oh) Tryna carve out a place
That'll 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 doin' my best
Uncertain if all the hurtin' is worth it
Yeah, I know I couldn't be further from perfect

Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

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

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 (Oh-ahh)
But sometimes I feel
I make a mess of things
Life can be so beautiful (Yeah, yeah)
But sometimes I fear
I make a mess of everything

Woo
Oh!
Uh, I'm on my way home
Clark Griswold, here I go

    For all those asking who clark Griswold is.. watch "National Lampoon's Vacation" and you will understand the whole song. He is the main character of that movie series and messes everything up. Its an old movie so us old guys know it :D

  40. f.... m....

    Eminem eat your heart out, real Hip-Hop from down-under!

  41. 3.... 3....

    HTH are not just a hip hop band. They are true musical artists. They have that rare combination of lyrics, rhythm, beat, and melody with a topical message. I don't know of a band that surpasses their talent at the moment. I'm over 50 yrs old and when I listen to HTH I enter another world where I can ease a lifetime of pain. Thank you HTH.

  42. Y.... L....

    Shout out to all the Dads

  43. M.... ....

    Cringe music.
    Absolute shit.

  44. F.... ....

    2:44 best part

  45. B.... H....

    Their albums have all shown me a progression in the awakening of oneself!
    The great expanse tells me these fullas are very awake to the mindless corrupt world. Keep doing spreading the messages you tell.

    Peace, Love and Unity

  46. M.... S....

    Best aussie band ever

  47. J.... G....

    Wurundjeri Woirrung support you always xxxooo ✌🏾✌🏾👍

    Ok... loved this song for the past few months, cause it kept playing on the radio, had no idea it was you guys

  51. F.... C....

    The roots/Cody - The seed ......

  52. C.... W....

    The very start of this song always makes me think of Through the Dark. They sound similar.

  53. S.... B....

    Don't rage at me. But who's Clark griswold?

    S.... B....

    Chevy Chase's character in the National Lampoon's Vacation movies

    S.... B....

    Jared Hannsohn thank
    You.

  54. X.... A....
