Happy Tracks Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I know that you've heard people say many many times 

You don't pass through this world but once you'll get yours and I'll get mine 

But I've got a philosophy I believe I'd rather go by 

And if you'll just listen you may want to give it a try 

Leave a lotta happy tracks as you go down life's road 

Leave a lotta happy tracks everywhere you go 

Leave a lotta happy tracks and keep this in mind 

Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind 

As you walk the tangle streets of life notice your fellow man 

And when he gets in trouble lend him a helping hand 

Sow good seeds in your fields of life as you go along 

Others reap your happiness a long time after you're gone 

Leave a lotta happy tracks... 

[ steel ] 

Don't ever use a good friend for a personal game 

To game wealth and lose one friend would only be in vain 

Let your happy tracks be many leave them everywhere you go 

Others will have to harvest each and every seed you sow 

Leave a lotta happy tracks... 

Others will have to follow in the path you leave behind
