Lyric Pursuing Happiness

(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...
