Happiness Found
I came into town with a back pack on my shoulders
and a pocket full of stories that I just had to tell.
You know I’ve knocked around a bit
and had my share of small town glories.
It’s time to hit the city
and that crazy carousel.
I’ve been thinking now for so long.
I’m tired of going nowhere but,
I just keep moving on.
Till you brought your Sunday morning sunshine
Here into my Monday morning rain.
You gave me happiness just one time.
It keeps on coming back again and again.
You know when your heart is nowhere.
Then you’ve got no place called home.
So you keep on searching for somewhere.
Yet, you’re still just all alone.
It’s time to lay my feet down,
away from Lonely Street.
New adventures are somewhere.
As From day to day I see.
All the people going nowhere.
But, anywhere’s a better place to be.
Till you brought your Sunday morning sunshine
Here into my Monday morning rain.
You brought me happiness just one time.
It keeps on coming back again and again.
These roads were never my roads
These highways and the byways.
They were just a way for me
to drift from town to town.
I never thought I’d find
someone who could love me.
Till finally you were found.
I thought I’d drift forever
In my anguish and my leathers.
Always moving on but, really nowhere bound.
Till you brought your Sunday morning sunshine
Here into my Monday morning rain.
You gave me happiness just one time.
It keeps on coming back again and again.
