lyrics

Happy
(Kern/Ratts)

when she left alabama she swore that she'd never
be made to feel hopeless again
she packed up the poems she'd only begun
and set out to find how they end
as she drove away i heard her say

i just want to be happy
is that too much to seek, tell me
i just want to be happy
step out of the trappings
that are binding our feet

i gave years to the practice
my long nights and weekends
he said, as he ordered one more
i've mortgaged my moments
in hopes of a bonus
for kids i'm too seldom there for
i swear one day i'll walk away

i just want to be happy
is that too much to concede, tell me
i just want to be happy
step out of the trappings
that are binding our feet

you know jefferson said it and i won't deny
that it ranks with life and liberty
while this world hands us suffering, heartbreak, and disease
we've a right to to aspire to get free
until it's all moot it's our pursuit

we just want to be happy
is that too much to ask and we
just want to be happy
before they fill up the casket with me
i just want to be happy
is that too much to seek, tell me
i just want to be happy
for the rest of my life i'll be
