Why it's a happy road
That I'm travelin' on
I just can't help myself
Ya got me singin' a happy song
Since your Son came shinin'
I know it won't be long
Until your happy road
Is takin' me home.
I been out on the highway
For thirty nine years
Somehow it seems just like a day
I've seen a lot of heartaches
I've shared a lot of tears
But then you came
And you took 'em all away.
That I'm travelin' on
I just can't help myself
Ya got me singin' a happy song
Since your Son came shinin'
I know it won't be long
Until your happy road
Is takin' me home.
I been out on the highway
For thirty nine years
Somehow it seems just like a day
I've seen a lot of heartaches
I've shared a lot of tears
But then you came
And you took 'em all away.
