I'd Rather be Camping (Lyrics by Mark Ward)

Verse 1:
I’d rather be camping looking at sunsets than doing this 9 to 5,

Emails and deadlines, I’m feeling barely alive.

The office lights feel colder than the stars in the sky,

I’d rather be camping, watching the sky come alive

Chorus:

I’m dreaming of the mountains, with the fire burnin' bright,

Where the only thing I’m punchin’ is the campfire late at night.

But here I am, stuck with Paper stacks higher than mountains

Just wishin' I could trade it all for rivers with the moon as my guide

Verse 2:

Clock keeps ticking, same old routine

Coffee stains and a worn-out machine

Boss man talking, but my mind’s already gone.

dreaming about the river's steady song,

Chorus:

I’m dreaming of the mountains, with the fire burnin' bright,

Where the only thing I’m punchin’ is the campfire late at night.

But here I am, stuck with Paper stacks higher than mountains

Just wishin' I could trade it all for rivers with the moon as my guide

Verse 3:

No rush, no noise, just the soft breeze,

No suit, no tie, just a soul set free

just the crickets singing me a lullaby

with the rivers song, and the night drifting by

Bridge:

I’d rather be camping, watching the sky come alive

Chasing the sunset, not this 9 to 5

Give me the firelight, the stars to survive

I’d rather be camping than this 9 to 5

Outro:

I’d rather be camping, not sitting here to survive,

Just chasing sunsets and feeling truly alive.
