the pursuit of happiness - ben sollee lyrics
riding out past all the places
that i’ve a reason to go
kentucky hills and fences…
fields cleared of their stones
gonna find me a crossroad
ask a stranger where to go
gotta find a clear view of the sky…
out past the open road
’bout half way to jellico
all the lines wore off the road
some old man patching holes with his bare hands
working as hard as i’ve ever seen
he had no taste for the touch screens…
’cause they ain’t nothing like the real thing
he used those simple machines…
he knew how to make the hammer ring
he said, “i want it as bad as you do
i just ain’t willing to take it from somebody else…
’cause on my way to happiness
i wound up paving the road.”
when i came back home
my family was waiting for me
i looked into my son’s eyes
and they were wild as the sea
oh, he asked me a simple question…
why do i have to leave
oh, son because it’s a chance to make a living…
that don’t make other folks bleed
yeah…you know i want it as bad as you do
i just ain’t willing to take it from somebody else
’cause on my way to happiness
i met a poor man paving the road
