A Happy Guy

Larry Kusik - Kenny Rankin

© Matragun Music, BMI

Some guys like a nine to five job and a house with a white picket fence
Some guys live for that weekly pay cheque but to me it don't make much sense
Now I dont like a tight collar or a suit with a matching tie
I like to pick up and go where the four winds blow and that's why I'm a happy guy

I steer clear of sweet talkin' gals they gotta wedding bells on their mind
They want a guy to stay home every night but me I'm a different kind
I move when I'm ready and I don't have to tell you why
I just grab my hat and leave where I'm at and that's why I'm a happy guy

You can look for me when I'm passing through and I'll stay awhile in your town
We can live it up and let the good times roll but don't try to settle me down
No girls gonna chain me I was born with a rovin' eye
And when the thrill is gone well I'll be moving on and that's why im a happy guy
