Pursuing Happiness Lyrics - Bobby Bare

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 

[ el.banjo ] 

Almost everyone I know... 

I'm just persuing happiness I'm just pursuing happiness
