Lyrics
Happy Guy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well it's an open road
and it's full of life
stretching on and on
but it stops somewhere
because time keeps ticking away
time keeps on ticking away
Let me tell you about a boy
an average spud
he was twice in love
with two very different girls
knowing life is short
he told them both the truth
but they already knew
hey
Now he's a happy guy
Well it's a random turn
on a game show wheel
unpredictable
but it stops somewhere
because time keeps ticking away
time keeps on ticking away
Let me tall you about a man
a tragic case
love kicked in his face
he shriveled up and died
from a broken heart
reincarnated as a work of art
he's got a brand new start
hey
Now he's a happy guy
