Happiness Alone Lyrics - Black Clint

I think I'll go back down to New Orleans 

Try to bury my travelin' bone 

Unpredictable me, like I swore I would be 

Nothing's ever written in stone 

There's a knock on her door, is she here anymore 

I guess me and the neighbors will see 

If the one thing that I couldn't do without her 

She couldn't do without me 

Could I leave her behind, go on losin' my mind 

While the good times continue to roll 

With this time on my hands, I can change all my plans 

And it really wouldn't bother a soul 

I can make all the rounds, paint all the towns 

Do all that and more on my own 

But a man can't survive on happiness alone 

Take a good look around, this is New Orleans 

A free wheeler's got to feel right at home 

But it's a hell of a leap, whether shallow or deep 

That old river's gonna keep movin' on 

Like that muddy Mississippi, she keeps pullin' me under 

When you're in it, nothin' ever seems clear 

I could stand on the bank just toss in my line 

But there's way too many fish around here 

Could I leave 'em behind for the one on the line 

Are the good times still gonna roll 

And with this time on my hands, I can change all my plans 

And it really wouldn't bother a soul 

I can make all the rounds, paint all the towns 

Do all that and more on my own 

But a man can't survive on happiness alone
