Happy

I just called home and I said I was fine

Just like I do every Sunday night

They're all sitting 'round the table, eating a roast

And I'm holding back tears, pretending to boast

"My song's on the radio, hey, aren't you proud?"

They yell and they holler, sipping wine to their mouths

They say goodnight and I hang up the phone

But I've never felt so goddamn alone

Well, maybe when cows jump over the moon

I'll see rainbows end, I might tell the truth

The dream's not the dream that I thought it would be

My only dream now is to be

Happy

Had to borrow five dollars to pay a bill

I know they'd lend it, but pride, it'll kill

Selling guitars that nobody wants

'Cause being left-handed's another damn fault

Well, maybe when cows jump over the moon

I'll see rainbows end, I might tell the truth

The dream's not the dream that I thought it would be

My only dream now is to be

Happy

Got so far removed that I wanted to quit

Tried something else for the hell of it

But it wasn't the music that got it all wrong

'Cause not even a virus could kill off my songs

Maybe when cows jump over the moon

I'll see rainbows end, I might tell the truth

The dream's not the dream that I thought it would be

My only dream now is to be

Happy

I don't need cows jumping over the moon

Or a pot of gold to tell me the truth

It's all about heart and soul, don't you see?

That's all I needed to be

Happy
