Lyrics

Crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
Feelin' lit, feelin' light, 2 a.m. summer night
I don't care, hands on the wheel, drivin' drunk, I'm doin' my thing
Rollin' the Midwest side and out livin' my life, gettin' our dreams
People told me slow my roll, I'm screaming out, "Fuck that"
I'm gonna do just what I want and there ain't no turnin' back
If I fall, if I die, know I lived it to the fullest
If I fall, if I die, know I lived and missed some bullets
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it
Yeah, I'll be good
So, tell me what you know about dreamin', dreamin'
You don't really know about nothin', nothin'
Tell me what you know about them night terrors every night
5 a.m., cold sweat, wakin' up to the skies
Tell me what you know about dreams, dreams
Tell me what you know about night terrors, nothin'
You don't really care about the trials of tomorrow
You'd rather lay awake in a bed full of sorrow
(I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know)
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine (once I get it)
Yeah, I'll be good
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it
I'll be good
Hands on the wheel, uh-huh, fuck that
Hands on the wheel, kick drum, hi-hat
Hands on the wheel, uh-huh, fuck that
Hands on the wheel
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, yeah, I'll be fine once I get it
And I'll be good
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines ain't always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine once I get it
And I'll be good
I'm on the pursuit of happiness and I know
Everything that shines, always gonna be gold
Hey, I'll be fine, yeah
And I'll be good
Oh, hey-yeah, boy
Yeah, boy
I'm on the pursuit of happiness
