Lee Ann Womack - Happiness lyrics

rate me

Down at the lost highway cafe

I met a man there with a map in his hand

He said "I'm a little bit confused, and I'm not sure where I am"

He said I'm trying to find this place

Been trying to get there for a long, long time

Then he smiled and looked away,

and asked me if I'd heard of happiness

I told him that it just might take a while

Maybe some years, and a lotta miles

Go down the road to you hit partyville

Don't stop unless you're lookin' for cheap thrills

Go past love to you hear wedding bells

Stop and honeymoon, and rest a spell

You might get lost on the way is my guess

It ain't easy finding happiness

He said I think I understand

I better go before the sun goes down

Cause it's hard to see at night, and I just don't trust my eyes anymore

I said "goodluck" and watched him leave,

He hit the fastlane, then he disappeared

Just another weary traveller like so many trying to find his way back home

There's so many stops along the way

You keep on hoping that there'll come a day

I should have told him but I think he knows

So many places where he shouldn't go

So many souls that get turned around

Lookin' and wonderin' why it can't be found

It's a straight shot past loneliness

Why can't we seem to find happiness?

It's easy to get turned around I guess

On the road to happiness
