Happy

There's a man sittin' down by the 405

Hittin' some kind of tune on his ravin' guitar

He seems stranded in a dessert of a million dreams

Just like life hasn't been exactly as nice as it seems

Hello ! How are you ?

Why are you looking so sad on a day like this ?

Do you feel like talking ?

Now you got me started

I wanna see a smile on your clueless face - Yeah Yeah

You could be so happy - on this brand new beautiful day

You could be so happy like kids gettin' ready to play

Come on and bring it on, on and on

Nothing that you do is wrong

Come along and don't drag it on

You can be so happy

You say your girlfriend is pretty yeah

She`s waiting at home

Got a safe job

And you can call a little house and a chevy your own

It all seems perfect but ain't perfect just as boring as hell You've been craving for this

And now you're stuck just like a snail in its shell

All that matters is that you can

be free to live your life the way you sincerely feel it

Cause life's too short

You don't wanna be a prisoner

of your own illusions

And I shout it out:

You could be so happy - yeah you got somebody to love

You could be so happy - ain`t that good enough

Ain't no use to sit and drag it on, thinking 'bout the mess

you've done - nothing's wrong, just bring it on

You could be so happy

There's a man sittin' down by the 405

Got a smile on his face thinkin': 'What a wonderful life'
