Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to say when I grow up
I'd make the NBA, make a million bucks
Or maybe be an astronaut
That was all a little harder than I thought
I'd have my name up in the stars
The fancy clothes, the flashy cars
But that was back a couple dreams ago
Reality ain't quite like the TV shows
[PreChorus]
And if I could go back to when my teachers asked
What I wanna be one day when I grow up, I'd say
[Chorus]
I just wanna be happy, make a little living that'll last me
Couple rug rats in the back seat, is that too much to ask?
I don't need the models and the money, just a girl that really really loves me
Take her back home to Kentucky, I'd be lucky if that's all I had
[Chorus]
I just wanna be happy, happy, happy, ooh
I just wanna be happy, happy, happy, ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
And what's the point in being the best
When everybody that I used to idolize is depressed?
No need to go flex and move out to the West
And buy a mansion that I can't afford and end up in debt, yeah
[PreChorus]
And if I could go back to when my teachers asked
What I wanna be one day when I grow up, I'd say
[Chorus]
I just wanna be happy, make a little living that'll last me
Couple rug rats in the back seat, is that too much to ask?
I don't need the models and the money, just a girl that really really loves me
Take her back home to Kentucky, I'd be lucky if that's all I had
[Chorus]
I just wanna be happy, happy, happy, ooh
I just wanna be happy, happy, happy, ooh-ooh-ooh
