Why can't I be happy
Why must I be blue
So many things in a world that I want
So many things it hasn’t got
Why can't I be happy like you
They say the meek will inherit the earth
well I've been on line since momma gave birth to me
standing single file
I don't wanna seem I'm holdin’ a grudge
but I'd swear to god this line hasn't budged
and I hate to think it’s my birth right
Happy like you
Happy like you
Why can't I be happy like you
so many things in a world that I want
So many things it hasn't got
Why can't I be happy like you
They say the grass ain't greener over there
but that side of the fence you can't compare to me
renting this here dirt
I don't mean to be hostile or rude
but frankly friend I'm tired of these blues
and I aim to shake 'em off before I'm dead
Happy like you
Happy like you
Why can't I be happy like you
so many things in a world that I want
So many things it hasn't got
Why can't I be happy like you
Why can't I be happy
Why must I be blue
So many things in a world that I want
So many things it hasn’t got
Why can't I be happy like you
Happy like you
Happy like you
Why can't I be happy like you
so many things in a world that I want
So many things it hasn't got
Why can't I be happy like you

Behind The Song...
Happy Like You
The World could be such a better place if we all followed the lead of angels. This song comes from a time when I was young, optimistic and full of hope that my generation could change the world. Same as it ever was.... same as it ever was.
