Pursuing Happiness — текст песни (Bobby Bare)

(Harlan Howard)
Norma

I know that my surroundings aren`t the very best
But my soul`s on fire and won`t let me rest
I`m doing things I really shouldn`t do I guess
I`m just pursuing happiness.

I`m living much too fast a pace with two to care
I`m just looking for a dream that I can share
I`m sinking fast but no one hears my SOS
I`m just pursuing happiness.

Almost everyone I know has someone to worry
Someone to cheer them when they`re low
So if I walk by you in too big a hurry it`s because I got no place to go
Wherever people gather that`s where I`ll be found
In hope that someone`s hand will reach and slow me down.

Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness
I`m just pursuing happiness.

Almost everyone I know has someone to worry
Someone to cheer them when they`re low
So if I walk by you in too big a hurry it`s because I got no place to go
Wherever people gather that`s where I`ll be found
In hope that someone`s hand will reach and slow me down.

Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness
I`m just pursuing happiness.

I`m just persuing happiness.
I`m just pursuing happiness...
