Happy As We Wanna Be

I've hung out with people with money,

And I've hung out with people without

I've had friends in high cotton honey,

And friends with beans for a bank account

Now what I've learned is to short for a book,

And to long for a bumper sticker

In this ol' world there ain't nothin' for sure,

But far as I can figure

CHORUS:

You can't get rich in Las Vegas

You can't retire on minimum wages

But with a little bit of love,

And some cable TV

We can be happy, relatively happy

Cool as a glass of ice tea

Happy as we wanna be

Life dishes out some difficult lessons

Life might hit us with a couple low blows

But when we stop and count up our blessin's

It takes ten fingers and a couple of toes

Now I've found out what really counts

Is what they don't teach in college

'Cause it says right here on page number one

In the book of common knowledge

CHORUS:

Yeah with a little bit of love

And some cable TV

We Can be happy, relatively happy

Cool as a glass of ice tea

Happy as we wanna be
