Lyrics

Happy Guy

Well, its an open road And its full of life Stretching on and on But it stops somewhere Because time keeps ticking away Time keeps on ticking away Because time keeps ticking away Time keeps on ticking away Let me tell you about a boy An average spud He was twice in love With two very different girls Knowing life is short He told them both the truth But they already knew Now he's a happy guy Now he's a happy guy Now he's a happy guy Well, its a random turn On a game show wheel Unpredictable But it stops somewhere Because time keeps ticking away Time keeps on ticking away Because time keeps ticking away Time keeps on ticking away Let me tell you about a man A tragic case Love kicked in his face He shriveled up and died From a broken heart Reincarnated as a work of art He's got a brand new start Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Now he's a happy guy Now he's a happy guy Now he's a happy guy Now he's a happy guy
