Happy Man

Back in the day When I was young I met a man he told me son You think you got it figured but you probably don't So let me tell you my antidote To save your soul you're gonna need an ace in the hole To be a happy man You're gonna need a back up plan 'Cause you think you got it but you probably won't So let me tell you my antidote Yeah 'cause I'm a happy man (happy man) I got a back up plan I keep my door out back (happy man) Facing the railroad track I got friends I know (happy man) Down there in Mexico A happy man (happy man) I got me a back up plan Well years went by And how I did forget About that man and the words that he said 'Cause I got me stuck on a one way track I forgot to unlock my door out back And one day I came to the end of that line I had no back up plan, no ace in the hole this time I sat on a rock with my hand on my head Then I recalled the words that he said Yeah he said I'm a happy man (happy man) I got a back up plan I keep my door out back (happy man) Facing the railroad track I got friends I know (happy man) Way down in Mexico Well I'm a happy man (happy man) I got me a back up plan Yeah I'm a happy man (happy man) I got a back up plan I keep my door out back (happy man) Facing the railroad track So I got friends I know (happy man) Down there in Mexico I'm a happy man (happy man) I got me a back up plan (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man) (happy man)
