Lyrics Bobby Bare – Pursuing Happiness

Norma

I know that my surroundings aren’t the very best
But my soul’s on fire and won’t let me rest
I’m doing things I really shouldn’t do I guess

I’m living much too fast a pace with two to care
I’m just looking for a dream that I can share
I’m sinking fast but no one hears my SOS
I’m just pursuing happiness.

Almost everyone I know has someone to worry
Someone to cheer them when they’re low
So if I walk by you in too big a hurry it’s because I got no place to go
Wherever people gather that’s where I’ll be found
In hope that someone’s hand will reach and slow me down.

Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness
I’m just pursuing happiness.

Almost everyone I know has someone to worry
Someone to cheer them when they’re low
So if I walk by you in too big a hurry it’s because I got no place to go
Wherever people gather that’s where I’ll be found
In hope that someone’s hand will reach and slow me down.

Behind me I can feel that demon loneliness
I’m just pursuing happiness.

I’m just pursuing happiness.
I’m just pursuing happiness…
