Independently Happy

[Verse 1:]

I feel that it's hard enough to say good-bye

I feel there's the water, should I sink or dive?

An empty plate, fill up my sentimental morning star

And I steal the art of putting truth in a lie

And I still want the girl that really caught my eye

But, oh, she lives in Oklahoma City, far away from me

Well, there's an empty hope chest

I quit the dope quest

And remain independently happy

[Chorus:]

I said I'm finally happy

Happy

Independently happy

[Verse 2:]

And I deal with the fact that I've forgiven the worst

And I feel that my social behavior

May seem somewhat unrehearsed

But another page

A sullen rage

And I'll be back to my normal self

[Chorus:]

I'm finally happy

Happy

Independently happy

[Bridge:]

So I drive to the edge of my considerate plain

And I apologize to the people I hurt on the way

But I

I wipe the slate clean

I kick the daydream

And remain independently happy

[Chorus:]

I said I'm finally happy

Happy

Independently

Happy

I'm happy

I'm independently, I'm independently
