Lyrics

Happy on the Road

Well I'm rolling down the highway

Smile upon my face

All the things that hurt me

Disappear without a trace

Only me on the inside

And the big wide open sky

I'm always happy at the wheel

I see it all go drifting by

Ten thousand sorrows

Ten million tears

All part of the making

How you got to be here

Relax, listen to her engine

Leave your troubles for awhile

Dream your darkest secret

The one that always makes you smile

I'm happy, I'm happy on the road

Yeah, I'm happy, I'm happy on the road

Sometimes you're standing still

Let your troubles do the same

Let the pressure fall away

Let it go and start again

There's only me on the inside

And the big wide open sky

I'm always happy at the wheel

See it all go drifting by

I'm happy on the road

I'm happy on the road, yeah

I'm happy, I'm happy on the road, yeah yeah

I'm happy, I'm happy on the road, yeah yeah yeah

I'm happy, I'm happy on the road

I'm happy on the road, yeah

Happy, I'm happy on the road

I'm happy on the road

I'm happy on the road

Well I'm happy, I'm happy on the road

I'm happy on the road, yeah

Happy, I'm happy on the road, yeah yeah yeah yeah...
